Firehouse #31.

Since early last summer, due to health/environmental problems in Firehouse #31, Fire Officers and Medics have been relocated temporarily to the Herman Williams Firehouse at Kirk Avenue & East 25th Street --- where they worry about "getting home" to be closer to their First Responder area and commitment.

New Waverly Elem-Middle School Building: Open Meeting

Dear Community Members,

Many of you are aware of the planned building project at Waverly Elementary/Middle School. City Schools and the project architects are ready to present their plans for a new Waverly school building and hear community feedback. You are cordially invited to participate in a meeting discuss the current status of the new Waverly Elementary/Middle School building on February 17th at 7 pm at the elementary school cafeteria – 3400 Ellerslie Avenue.
Additionally, designs will be on display prior to the meeting, from 6-7pm.
Childcare will be provided. All community members are welcome to join us and give their feedback to the architects and City Schools facilities staff.

Originally, this project was a middle school addition. Now that they have looked at the elementary school and considered several other factors they have decided that the most cost effective option is to build an entirely new school building on the field behind the elementary school and later replace the elementary school with a green play space.

If everything goes as planned this will be the first new school building in Baltimore in many years. The architects propose to build it to LEED Silver status, which is a green building standard. Dr. Alonso has agreed that there will be an advanced academic program at the new middle school. Please let me know if you are able to attend. We look forward to having community input to finalize the plans. This is an open meeting so please invite other stakeholders.

Please email Andrew Stiller or call (443) 224-7367 by February 15 so we can plan for materials and child care.

Thank you!
