enrollment of 608 students. The year following School No. 144 was still described as having enrollment of 900 students and an expectation of continued growth. In response to the rapid growth, the school administration proposed a large addition with a contract soon awarded to Philip Vizzini & Son, Inc. Phillip Vizzini established his construction firm in 1918 and attended the Maryland Institute night school earning a certificate in architecture in 1920. In 1945, Vizzini expanded and incorporated as Philip Vizzini & Son Inc. The firm specialized in school construction and—by the end of the firm at Vizzini's retirement in 1972—the firm had completed 42 schools in Baltimore, Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County.
