Renovation of an educational facility in Bowie, Maryland. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

An architect and general contractor have been selected. As of July 2022 this project is under construction. The Communication Arts & Humanities (CAH) project is for the design and construction of an approximately 200,000 GSF new replacement building for the Martin Luther King Center on the campus of Bowie State University. The project will consolidate the University's interdisciplinary programs to accommodate the needs of four units: Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC), Communications (COMM), History and Government (HGOV), Language, Literature, and Cultural Studies (LLCS) formerly known as English and Modern Languages. The project is being designed to meet a minimum of LEED Silver certification. The instructional spaces to be provided comprise general education (active learning) classrooms and collaborative informal student study space. The specialized class laboratories include audio/ video editing and demonstration spaces for media production, broadcast/print journalism, public relations, language, literacy and writing as well as history, government, and geographic information systems laboratories. The building will also house the administrative functions of each of the departments with general support space and amenities. This project has a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation goal of thirty percent (30%) with subgoals of seven percent (7%) African American-Owned, four percent (4%) Asian American-Owned, two percent (2%) Hispanic American-Owned, and nine percent (9%) Women-Owned businesses. All MBE subcontractors and suppliers must be certified by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) in order for contract dollars to be counted toward project goals. * Construction End: Planned substantial completion of Spring 2024.
