With a focus on public K-12 educational facilities in Maryland, TCA Architects has been creating inspiring learning environments since 1973. Our firm's expertise in educational design spans over four decades, and we have had the privilege of designing over 80 educational projects, both new construction and addition and renovations to existing schools.

At TCA Architects, we understand the importance of creating high-performance buildings that serve as a catalyst for 21st-century learning.

Since then, we have designed Maryland's First Net Zero School, which is also Howard County's first Platinum School.
