Demolition, site work, paving, renovation and addition to a mixed-use development in Frederick, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for the renovation of a educational facility.

The original proposal for this project was to renovate the approximately 36,000 GSF Athletics Center (Building D), that was constructed in 1969 and construct a modest addition to accommodate new academic needs. This proposed project was developed under the College’s last Facilities Master Plan update in 2017. Subsequently, the 2023-2033 Facilities Master Plan space needs analysis identified next steps in our campus development. With that in mind, a capital project to renovate and add to our Athletics Center (Building D) was merited, several categories of space needs identified, and a Facility Program Part I and Part II was submitted to the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC), in December 2023, as required for inclusion in the FY26 State CIP budget request. Based on recent meetings with County officials, feedback received from the State, and after considering other internal/external factors that influence the College’s long term facilities planning, College administration re-envisioned the previously proposed Health and Wellness Center and reduced the program scope. The revised project includes a reduction of 5,000 GSF in the existing Building D renovation (from 36,000 to 31,000) and 48,500 GSF in the new addition (from 91,500 to 43,000). The revised project totaling 74,000 GSF proposes renovating the existing Athletics Center (Building D), and constructing an addition of approximately 43,000 GSF to accommodate new academic needs in a workforce growth sector for Frederick County and to improve existing athletic functions. 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).
