BCC Middle School #2 Design Meetings Begin June 8, 2011

Subject: Bethesda Chevy Chase Middle School # 2 – New School

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is about to conduct a  
Feasibility Study for a new middle school to be located at Rock Creek  
Hills Local Park, 3701 Saul Road, Kensington, MD 20895, a former  
school site.

The design is being conducted by a Facility Advisory Committee (FAC)  
that is chaired by the Westland Middle School Principal; Mr. Daniel J.  
Vogelman.  The FAC will include representatives of the schools, PTA,  
neighbors, government agencies, the design architects, Samaha  
Architects, and staff from MCPS Division of Construction.

The purpose of these meetings is to develop a preliminary design for  
the school project.  It is an evolving process whereby input from the  
previous meeting is incorporated into the ongoing proposed design.  
These meetings are to determine spatial relationships within the  
school’s interior, the pedestrian and traffic flow of the site and how  
the school will fit into the community at large.

As shown below, the FAC meeting/work sessions are scheduled in the  
afternoons and evenings to allow maximum community involvement.
