Design competition for $40 million school in Baltimore

From The Baltimore Sun: Three teams are competing to design the East Baltimore Community School, a $40 million, a K-8 facility planned as an anchor for the East Baltimore Development Inc. renewal area. Expected to open by fall 2014, the 103,000-square-foot building will be a "public contract school" — it will be open to neighborhood students, but its design and construction will not be funded through the city school system's standard procurement process.
