Founded in 1900, Roland Park Country School is an independent all-girls college preparatory school in Baltimore serving more than 600 students. Our design for the new athletic facility follows the completion of an academic expansion project and new outdoor tennis courts. To further enhance the student experience, the facility incorporates sustainable design principles, aiming to minimize environmental impact and promote healthy living practices. With its state-of-the-art amenities, the facility serves as a hub for physical fitness, academic excellence, and community engagement at Roland Park Country School.

The LEED Gold certified facility includes a three-court gymnasium with a suspended three-lane track, fitness center, rowing tank, classroom, locker rooms, Hall of Fame, a daycare center, and training facilities. Our design builds upon the contemporary aesthetic of the existing campus with ribbon windows, curving towers, an exposed structural framework, and horizontal bands of earth-toned masonry. Situated beyond the campus’ historic Ward House, the building takes advantage of steep topography. The upper-level main entrance opens to two stories that face the adjacent playing fields and tennis courts. DLR Group provided architecture services.
