Campus Site and Safety Improvements –

The western portion of the Lecture Hall ramp is being removed this summer as part of the site and safety project. |
Phase 1
$ 15 million
The campus site and safety improvement project encompasses improvements and renovations to infrastructure on the campus’s main academic quad, including utilities, roads, lighting, pedestrian circulation and ADA improvements. The renovations address existing deficiencies and will provide the necessary infrastructure for future development. Construction will begin in July 2008 with the removal of a portion of the Lecture Hall ramp and continue into 2009 with the construction of a new campus entrance along Towsontown Boulevard. A raised plaza is proposed to extend from the new entrance to provide more convenient accessibility to the main levels of several campus buildings. The project is expected to be complete by 2011.
