If this is what to come, Morgan will be seriously moving UP and in to this field.

The Morgan State University Center for the Built Environment and Infrastructure Studies is currently being designed by The Freelon Group, in association with CSD Architects of Baltimore, Maryland.

The design of the new 124,800 gsf Facility will support the institutional and research programs of Morgan State University that address the physical aspects of the urban environment, including the Institute of Architecture and Planning, the Department of Civil Engineering and the Institute of Transportation Studies.

The project team will apply sustainable design standards that will target a minimum of LEED Gold Rating from the United States Green Building Council’s Green Building Rating System and meet sustainable design standards approved by the State of Maryland.

^^nice! should do wonders for msu.:okay:

solar panels on an HBCU building...........I like the sound of that.

I like this one. Morgan has a wide variety of architectural styles on its campus, which puts it in the minority among college campuses. I like the idea of the CBEIS too. Very cool.

Ground broke on last week on this.

Ground broke on last week on this.Where on campus is this building supposed to go? Morgan State is running out of spots to put buildings.

Great! Morgan State is a very nice campus!

It's across from the engineering building along with some space from the Herring run.

And it's coming along just nicely.

Yeah how rare is that.

Northwoods Shopping Center should be next. I wonder if they truly run out of land.. if they would consider building a second campus somewhere in Baltimore... possibly up in Park Heights near Sinai... Would be nice to have a nice anchor in Park Heights as part of the redevelopment of that area... The school's programs/students could be a wonderful resource for the neighborhood.. Maybe some type of joint program/degree could be created with Sinai? Both the Main and "West MSU" campus could be connected via enhanced MTA Bus service along Coldspring Lane....

You're right. The old Hechinger's/Burlington/Head Start building was demolished is the site for the new School of Business and Management (renderings of this building was in the August edition of Urbanite). The parking lot area of that site is going to be where the replacement building for the Jenkins building be, as the old building is old, poorly constructed as has really outlived its usefulness as a building on campus.

I'll be glad when they raze Montebello, refurbish or raze McKeldin and totally renovate Soper Library.
