Arlington Elementary Historic Facade Repairs

To support the renovation of Arlington Elementary School, one of Baltimore City Public School’s primary facilities in Northwest Baltimore, McLaren Engineering Group performed a condition assessment and provided repair recommendations of the deteriorating historic masonry facade. The assessment focused on identifying safety and serviceability issues.

Facade Inspection

McLaren performed a condition assessment of the historic facade to determine the extent and severity of the deterioration of the exterior masonry wall, including the lintels over the window and door frames. Our facade team prepared a narrative describing the findings of the structural analysis. The report included a summary description of the existing conditions with photos, and recommendations for structural remediation.
