Comment on the Update to UMD’s Campus Facilities Master Plan

September 8th, 2011  |  by David Daddio  |  published in On Campus Development

UMD is putting the finishing touched on its 2011-2030 Campus Facilities Master Plan (FMP - informational website). The FMP seeks to “establish a framework to guide the orderly growth and development of the campus over the next decade.” It focuses on the campus landscape and transportation systems, which are two major weaknesses of the current FMP. [...]

Ehrlich Transportation Plan Unsuitable for College Park

November 2nd, 2010  |  by Krystle Okafor  |  published in On Campus Development, Politics, Purple Line, Transportation

Before casting your vote today, please consider what you would like your commute and that of future College Park residents to look like. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob L. Ehrlich surely has: His transportation platform, as outlined below, does not help actualize the vision of the modern college town that we all would like College Park [...]

UMD Seeks Campus Drive Closure Feedback

August 25th, 2010  |  by David Daddio  |  published in On Campus Development, Transportation

After a “half victory” with Campus Drive this summer, here is our chance to speak out as part of the University’s public involvement process and make it known that students, staff, faculty, and visitors do not support plans to restrict Shuttle UM and Metro Bus (and in the future, the Purple Line) access to Campus Drive. If you were on campus [...]

UMD Breaks Ground on Physical Sciences Complex (VIDEO)

May 29th, 2010  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in On Campus Development, Physical Sciences Complex

RTCP may have differences of opinion with University officials from time to time but there is no denying that the University of Maryland is on the move in a positive way. The University broke ground last week on a state-of-the-art $128-Million Physical Sciences Complex. This project is a doozy. The 158,068 square-foot of space will [...]

UMD Forges Ahead With East Campus – Begins to Court New Developers

April 30th, 2010  |  by David Daddio  |  published in East Campus, General College Park, On Campus Development

UMD issued a new phased East Campus Request for Proposal (RFP) Wednesday and will select a developer for Phase I of the project by the end of July. With $5 million in hand to begin relocating their facilities on East Campus to the former Washington Post plant, UMD appears to be forging ahead with a [...]

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 [...]

Battle Continues for Hillock, We like Golob

October 2nd, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in East Campus, On Campus Development

[flickr float=center]3972602182[/flickr] The Diamondback is reporting that the University Senate may come down on the side of the SGA in the Hillock site dispute. Last February, the SGA unanimously passed a resolution asking the administration to reconsider alternatives to developing the Hillock. But the senate — composed of nearly 200 students, faculty and staff — [...]
