In 2000, Rosedale Christian Academy, originally known as Rosedale Baptist School, in Baltimore opened its doors. Initially intended for its church community, the school started small, but God blessed their efforts.
Their commitment to Christian character building, academic excellence, and the genuine love their teachers had for their students led to rapid growth.
The student body increased from about 35 in the first year to approximately 235 within four years. As they welcomed children from outside the community, they recognized a greater need.
Rosedale Baptist Church tapped MW Studios to complete a second project at their White Marsh Campus—WMC2.
They wanted to create a new K-8 private Christian school by renovating and converting a portion of a 36,000-square-foot “flex” commercial office building.
The new Christian school in Rosedale includes 21 classrooms, renovated bathroom spaces, administrative spaces, and a 3,000-square-foot multi-purpose room.
The school received new walls, partitions, floors, ceilings, finishes, and equipment.
It also has a completely new LED lighting fixture package and HVAC.
By repurposing the existing building, MW Studios could “fast-track” the design and permitting process.
This resulted in significant cost savings and project delivery within the client’s compressed timeline.
