Peek at the New Journalism Building

February 7th, 2010  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Knight Hall Journalism Building, On Campus Development

The Journalism School’s $30 million Knight Hall, having originally been announced in 2006, is now complete. According to the school’s press release, a few spaces in the building won’t be quite complete later this semester but we’re happy to see UMD’s planned west mall (to take the place of lot 1) starting to take shape.

Seeing the Forest for the Trees (They’re just trees)

November 17th, 2009  |  by David Daddio  |  published in East Campus, Environment, On Campus Development

In response to Robert McCartney’s Op-Ed yesterday in the Washington Post, I decided to throw together the following as I continue to ruminate over the massive amount of debate surrounding the proposed development (also see savethehillock.com) of 9 acres of the 22 acres “Wooded Hillock” behind the Comcast Center:
As an environmentalist and former land conservationist, [...]

The Diamondback is reporting that the University Senate may come down on the side of the SGA in the Hillock site dispute.

Campus Plan calls for installation of Bike Box

May 20th, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in Bicycles, On Campus Development, Transportation

Yeah that is great. What is a Bike Box?
The newly released campus bike plan calls for the installation of several “Bike Boxes” at busy intersections such as Campus Drive and Preinkert Drive. Well the folks at Street Films have a great little video to fill you in on the details. See below the fold for [...]

Campus Bicycle Study Released

May 15th, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in Bicycles, On Campus Development

Since it is Bike To Work day it might be a great time to download and read The Campus Bike Study we posted about a few weeks ago. The Department of Transportation Services and the University of Maryland Bicycle Advisory Group solicited the study from the Toole Design Group, LLC based out of Hyattsville.

Campus To Become More Bike-Friendly.

May 3rd, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in Bicycles, On Campus Development, Transportation

October 17th, 2008  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in On Campus Development, University View Overlook

Md. approves $80M for new dorm
The Maryland Board of Public Works approved the $80 million for Oakland Hall on Wednesday. Construction is scheduled to start August 2009 and be completed by April 2011.  Some of us at RTCP have wondered why Foulger-Pratt/Argo Investments (the developer of East Campus)  is not paying for this new dorm [...]
