The largest single project ever undertaken by Baltimore County Public Schools, the new Dundalk & Sollers Point High School complex, has capacity for 1,857 students. 

A unique combination of two types of high schools—one comprehensive (Dundalk) and one technical (Sollers Point)—design of the new complex focused on giving each school its own identity, while capitalizing on shared spaces to maximize efficiency.

A multi-story central atrium houses the shared media center and forms the heart of the building. Daylight shines down this central core through clerestories and provides a visual connector along virtually the entire length of the building enhancing wayfinding. 

The architectural language of the exterior of this new complex tells the story 
of the merge of two schools into one. The materials used are contextual to community; the comprehensive high school’s brick masonry pays homage to the old school building, while the insulated translucent panel housing the technical high school represents the pioneering tradition of a community that built itself around the steel industry.  

Exhibits in the lobby and imagery that flows through the cafeteria and corridors illustrate the history of the neighborhoods the schools serve, allowing the complex to engage the community by serving as a place of remembrance and preservation.
