Renovation of an educational facility in Frederick, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

The existing Plant Operations building, originally constructed in 1995 with an addition in 2003, is approximately 7,400 GSF and houses work bays and office space for Plant Operations staff. In the previous Facilities Master Plan, this building was slated for renovation which was included in prior Capital Improvement Plans. The 2023 Facilities Master Plan was updated and now recommends a new facility that is outside of the academic core of the campus. The existing building is in fair condition but requires deferred maintenance on the exterior skin, interior finishes, and building infrastructure that is at, or beyond, its useful life. The existing facility is lacking in staff space, grounds’ storage, and maintenance work areas. In addition, the College lacks a sufficient loading dock and receiving area and there is no warehouse storage for stocked materials, or surplus. This project replaces the current Plant Operations building and includes all functions now housed in that building and others distributed throughout the campus. Functions Include: Plant Services, Workshops, Offices, Repair Spaces, College-wide Receiving, Mail Services, Print Shop, and Storage. Site work associated with this project will include a staff and visitor parking lot, limited realignment of the campus loop road at the southwest corner of the Parking Deck, a new access driveway, and fenced 120’ x 140’ service/storage yard. Estimated Size: One to two stories Office & Shops -19,200 GSF, One level Storage Building - 4,800 GSF This project included in the county's fy 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program. As of April 24, 2025, further details regarding firm construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
