Cooper Robertson Unveils Ambitious Master Plan for University of Maryland
The architecture and urban design firm Cooper Robertson has announced the debut of a bold new campus facilities plan for the University of Maryland (UMD), a flagship public research university located in College Park, just outside Washington D.C. that the university hails as “a commitment to its holistic growth.”
Resulting from an 18-month community engagement and planning process involving 6,000 points of input from over 1,000 students, faculty, staff and community stakeholders, the initiative offers a strategic roadmap for the growing and increasingly diverse university’s future. According to Cooper Robertson’s project team, it outlines a vision grounded in advanced academic, residential, and recreational facilities with signature new green spaces and pedestrian thoroughfares.
