Construction Project Will Enhance Fine Arts, Business Training, Life Fitness

A major capital improvement project currently underway will enhance the college’s ability to fulfill several components of its mission. Groundbreaking took place on October 4, 2000 for two new buildings: a Fine and Performing Arts Center and Business Training Center building being constructed to the right of the main entrance, and a Life Fitness Building being built adjacent to Classroom Building C. The Life Fitness Building will enclose the quad southeast of the Great Hall.

Construction is expected to be completed in the spring of 2002, with classes first offered in the new buildings in fall 2002.

The 80-acre Washington Road campus opened in 1990. The last major addition to the campus was the Random House Learning Resource Center, which opened in fall 1997.

The Fine and Performing Arts Center will feature a 425-seat theater with balcony, an art gallery, two art laboratories, five music studios, a computer musicianship lab, five music practice rooms, and an ensemble practice room. The Business Training Center will occupy a separate wing, and include six meeting rooms, a conference room, eight faculty and staff offices, and a kitchenette.

The Life Fitness Building will include a half-court gymnasium, a fitness lab, locker and shower rooms, four classrooms, and fourteen faculty and staff offices.

Probst-Mason, Inc., in association with The Hiller Group, is the architect for the project. C.E.R., Inc., of Baltimore is the general contractor. The total cost of the project is $13.1 million. The state of Maryland is contributing 55 percent of the funding, Carroll County 43 percent, and private sources the remaining two percent.
