Designed by Grimm and Parker Architects, the new facility will be a two-storey building that will span 45,000 square feet. The building will accommodate 18 classrooms, three computer labs, two conference rooms and specialised facilities for criminal justice, geography programs and allied health programs.
The new building will be the new home for the Social Sciences, Human Services and Teacher Education (SOC) Division, the Continuing Education and Workforce Development (CEWD) Division, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Maryland Center for Environmental Training (MCET), the non-credit Allied Healthcare Training and CSM’s Planning, Institutional Effectiveness and Research Department.
Construction on the scheme will be undertaken by Dustin Construction, and will entail an outlay of $16 million. The project is anticipated to complete in early 2014.
Ground for the new building was broken on 24 September 2012. The original 11,785-square-foot CE Building was completed in 1968, one of three structures on the college’s new campus.
