Banneker Elementary School Renovation & Addition

Project Name:  Banneker Elementary School Renovation & Addition

This project plans for the renovation of and addition to the historic Banneker Elementary School.  The scope will include phased construction to maintain the current school operations throughout construction.  The building and site hold important historical significance in the community.  LCPS aims to preserve and restore the exterior of the original building and to renovate the interior maintaining footprints of original classrooms.  The addition will complement the original building and uphold its importance.

The School Board Adopted FY2024 – FY 2029 Capital Improvement Program funds the Banneker Elementary School Renovation & Additional project. This project provides funding to renovate and construct a new addition for a total project area of 61,000 SF that will include a multi-purpose room, five (5) classrooms and other ancillary spaces.  The multi-purpose room will provide program space as a gymnasium and auditorium with associated storage and office space. The five-classroom addition will accommodate kindergarten classroom space; the project will also provide additional restrooms in the building.  Renovation work will include the cafeteria, kitchen and office areas.  The project will also remove all modular classrooms from the schools site and be completed for the 2026-2027 School Year.
