Maryvale renovation

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have information on the renovation that will take place at Maryvale starting next year? I understand that the classes will move to a temporary location for a few years.

The temporary school will be Lucy V. Barnsley Elementary School. They'll move back to Maryvale after 2022.

That can’t be right. The temporary location is likely the North Lake Center. Students from Lucy Barnsley are being housed at North Lake this year while their school is under construction. Next year they move back and Maryvale students can move in to North Lake.

That's the info I was given. On google maps both those place names are shown at the same location. Where is North Lake Center?

North Lake Center is 15101 Bauer Drive. You are correct that Google maps knows Barnsley is currently located there. The actual Barnsley school is on Nadine Drive (across 28).

Ok. The info I have is that Maryvale is moving to Bauer dr.

Does anyone know what the North Lake Center is like on the inside?

It is old. Currently, there are something like 20 portables?

And there is no gym. Kids will have PE in a tiny portable.

I live in this neighborhood. The North Lake Center is the holding school on Bauer Drive. It was a functional ES 30 some odd years ago. Barnsley is currently in there. Looks like Maryvale will be moving in next. There are a HUGE number of portables and no gym as the PP said. The school is small (originally built for the tiny neighborhood it's in (to house 300 kids max I believe). A couple of years ago I went to a meeting there where the county talked about wanting to renovate the holding center to accommodate other schools moving in (for their own renovation). As the county estimated a huge increase in number of students in the next 20 years. I do not know what the status of that is (never heard any more about it). I do remember it included a second story, a new gym and an expanded driveway to accommodate the buses.

My child is there now for Lucy V. Barnsley construction. For LVB, everyone from 3rd grade and up is in portable, as well as Music, PE and portable bathroom.

It's not a renovation. They are tearing down and building an entirely new school. Also, a PP said kids would not be back until 2022 - unless there are massive delays, the new school should be open in 2020.

It is absolutely less than ideal. Yet one more example of how MCPS can’t handle the students that it currently has. When MCPS puts forth ideas like Universal pre-K, it is maddening, because we don’t even have appropriate facilities for the students who are currently enrolled!

We were at North Lake when Wheaton Woods was undergoing renovation.

Like the PP said, the school is meant for about 300 kids max. Barnsley has about 700 kids. It’s ridiculous.

I’m sure it’s very frustrating for the people who live in that neighborhood. The car pool is not large enough. The bus loop is not large enough.

Good to hear. Maryvale is incredibly run down. They deserve a new building.
