Carroll Lutheran School – Carroll County, MD

This project consisted of the preparation of full design construction site plans, specifications, and construction inspection services for a new school. Coordination with Carroll County review agencies along with the Carroll County Health Department, Maryland State Highway Administration and Maryland Department of the Environment was crucial during the design stages of this project. The project included the evaluation of the existing purchased parcel to determine the development potential. HLS was in charge with overseeing the site design, permitting, construction management, construction stakeout and stormwater management inspections and certification.
