A permit has been issued to Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) for construction of a $9.4 million addition at Greencastle Elementary School in Silver Spring (Fairland).
Per the MCPS Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), projections indicated enrollment at Greencastle Elementary School would exceed capacity by the end of the six-year planning period. A feasibility study was conducted to determine the cost and scope of an addition project. An FY 2023 appropriation was approved to begin the architectural design for an addition project at this school. An FY2024 appropriation was approved for construction funds.
This project is scheduled to be completed August 2025. Relocatable classrooms will be utilized until additional capacity can be added. A video rendering of the completed project can be seen below:
