The Frederick Douglass - Isaac Myers Maritime Park and Museum is the new flagship campus for Living Classrooms Foundation, a non-profit organization that has spent the past two decades using maritime settings to provide hands-on educational and job training programs for Baltimore's disadvantaged youth. Drawing on the unique history of the site which sits adjacent to the original location of the first African-American owned shipyard in the country, the facility embraces past, present and future, combining a variety of active hands-on learning opportunities with a museum of African-American Maritime History. The project includes the historic restoration of the oldest standing industrial warehouse on Baltimore's waterfront, the continuation of Baltimore's celebrated Waterfront Promenade. The design features classrooms, a woodshop, a cafe, meeting spaces, offices, interactive museum exhibitions, and program space for the expansion of the client's educational and workforce development programs.
