Area Design-Build Team to Construct New University of Maryland Event Center and President’s Residence

COLLEGE PARK, Md.–The University of Maryland College Park Foundation, concluding a rigorous search and evaluation process, will hire the design-build team of Forrester Construction/Barnes Vanze Architects/Gibson Builders to design and construct a new University Event Center and President’s Residence. The action follows earlier approval from the USM Board of Regents to build the much-needed University Events Center and to either upgrade or replace the newly vacated President’s Residence.
The Foundation, a private 501.c3 corporation, will raise private support to fund the project. The Foundation was established to raise and manage private support to advance the University’s mission and goal to become one of the top public research universities in the nation.
The University of Maryland is in the last two years of its ambitious billion capital campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign for Maryland, one-third of which is committed to raising much-needed student scholarships and other types of student financial aid. It has raised more than 0 million to date. Maryland’s new president, Wallace D. Loh, will be a significant asset in raising the funds to successfully close out the campaign.
As we all know, a significant and measurable component in the role of any effective president today is to raise funds – both public and private – on behalf of the university. More often than not, the president’s residence doubles as the major venue in this regard, said John N. Lauer, ’63, Chair of the Foundation’s Executive Committee. The University of Maryland has sorely needed a presidential venue in which to host the level of cultivation and recognition events that help advance its mission and fundraising goals.
According to an American Council of Education survey in 2001, university presidents were polled on the four areas that occupy most of their time. Presidents at public institutions spent approximately 44.2 percent of their time actively engaged in fundraising, building partnerships with other organizations, and representing the institution to stakeholders (American College President, ACE, 2002).
The planned Event Center will be integrated with the new residence into a single structure but with public space and private (i.e., residence) space largely separate. With an estimated seating capacity of 125 and a standing capacity of approximately 350, the planned venue will greatly enhance business conducted on behalf of the University of Maryland. The room will be dividable for smaller gatherings. There will be handicapped accessible restrooms, a catering kitchen, storage space, a loading dock, and office and work space for staff. The Events Center will be built to meet or exceed LEED Silver Certification standards.
In addition to fundraising, the new Center will be used for a wide range of university initiatives and activities that will continue raising the university’s profile and visibility — hosting high-level conferences, ambassadors, and guest speakers. The new Event Center will also be located within a short walking distance of other major campus venues, such as the Clarice Smith Center, allowing the university to host events connected to performances at the performing arts center.
The new residence will include the kinds of spaces on the main floor and second (top) floor of the current residence with the addition of a garage and possibly a screened porch. It would be built to meet or exceed LEED Silver Certification standards, smaller in actual size, with much more livable space and more energy efficient than the current residence.
The Project Team
Maryland-based Forrester Construction Company is one of the Washington Metropolitan area’s leading commercial general contractors, having earned an industry-wide reputation for consistently delivering exceptional construction services on projects ranging from small tenant interiors to national landmarks including the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. It has more than 20 years of design-build experience and a 10-year relationship with the University of Maryland. Barnes Vance Architects, Inc. has had a long, successful design history in the Washington, DC area and beyond, providing imaginative architectural solutions carefully tailored to client needs. This is achieved by combining a respect for tradition with the quiet incorporation of the latest technology. Forrester has enlisted Gibson Builders, a company with expertise in residential construction, to be an integral part of the team.
Design-Build Approach
The Foundation opted for a design-build approach, in which the architect and builder work together as a team from start to finish. This typically allows for a project to move forward on a faster schedule and assures rigorous cost control as adjustments can be made easily along the way. Current expectations are for the new facility to be completed by June 2012.
The Foundation has set a cap on the cost of the project at .2 million. All funding will be provided by private donors. More than one-third of the maximum cost was secured before selection of the design-build team and before any concepts or renderings were available.
The Selection Committee
The Committee that selected the winning design-build team consisted of several Foundation representatives, Frank Brewer (Associate Vice President for Facilities at the University), Carlo Colella (the University’s Director of Capital Projects) and two members of his staff, and Steve Hurtt, former dean of the School of Architecture, Planning, and Historic Preservation.
The Current Residence
All proposals submitted to the Foundation’s selection committee deemed the current unsuitable for renovation and use as a residence. The cost of renovation would likely exceed the cost of new construction, achieving a LEED Silver or better Certification level would be unlikely, and the basic structure would remain problematic. One proposer characterized renovation options as if not putting lipstick on a pig, at least it would be dressing up a broken down wreck . The Foundation will work with the University to determine whether the residence can be converted to other uses or should be demolished.
UM Facilities Management as Owner’s Representative
The Foundation has engaged the University’s Facilities Management (FM) Office to provide technical and administrative support and coordination for the project and to ensure that design and work complies with all University standards and policies.

Will be driving alone across the country. What is the best route to drive from Washington State to Maryland?
The foreclosure rate in Maryland presently is high; what does this mean? First, it is bad news to sellers who want to get rid of their properties fast. Second, it is the best news potential investors want to hear. This is really good news because people looking to make a new and lucrative investment have a good bargain. There are a few things we have to be aware of before rushing in for this pot of gold.
The Minimal Risk Factor
One of the biggest advantages of pre-foreclosure investments with Maryland investment property is that there is a greatly reduced risk factor. From the point of view of the seller, they want to get out of the house and be done with the bank as soon as possible. From the point of view of the bank, a house that is foreclosed doesn’t make them any money. In other words, both the bank and the seller will be willing to sell as quickly as possible. This will probably mean reduced prices as well as more flexible payment plans.
Some other factor to consider with Maryland investment property are any hidden or extra costs that come about when rehabbing the property. Because everyone involved would like to move the property as quickly as possible, your extra costs will also be greatly reduced. You can easily negotiate for a lower down-payment amount and you’ll find that other small fees can also be reduced or cut out completely. Bear in mind that foreclosures are also known as a Buyer’s Market. This is because the buyer not only has the upper hand; they also have the most to profit.
What Else?
If you’re looking at Maryland investment property for your own use, then foreclosures are a speedy option. Unlike other homes, where you will probably have to wait for the tenant to leave, these homes are either already vacant or the owners are about to vacate. This means that you can move in almost as soon as the deal is closed. You will however need to show proof that you are able to purchase the foreclosed property. If you are using your own cash, proper financial records are required. For example, your bank statement. If you are using financing, you will need to show that your loan is approved by your lender.
If you are a first time investor or are unsure about investing trends, putting your money into pre-foreclosures is not only lucrative, it is also a relatively safe investment option. If you are familiar with house renovation and redecorating, there’s nothing like foreclosure investment to make some quick and good money. All you have to do is get the foreclosed home at a bargain price, do the necessary renovations and repairs that add value to the property then put the house back on the market for a good profit. Many people have earned sizable capital by renovating their properties this way.
While you can handle your pre-foreclosure bids yourself, it might be a good idea to hire an agent to help you out. In that way, you’ll not only gain access to the best homes, you’ll also be in a better position to make a good bid and get the best bargain for your Maryland investment property.
