Master Planning
Campus Master Planning is the centerpiece of all facilities planning at St. Mary's College of Maryland. Over the last two decades, the College has worked with a number of distinguished architects and planners, including Jacquelin Robertson, Peter Bohlin, and Michael Vergason. The last 10-year Campus Facilities Plan was developed in 1999. The plan provided for new academic, administrative, housing, and recreational facilities, primarily on the North Campus. This plan was supplemented in 2000 with the development of the Maryland Heritage Project a joint program of the College and Historic St. Mary's City that advances the scholarship, study, and interpretation of the historical legacy of Maryland's first capital. Two of the Maryland Heritage projects, the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall and the Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center are located in the historic sector of the campus. In anticipation of these projects, Muse Architects has prepared a land use plan for the historic sector that encompasses potential locations for academic, exhibit facilities, visitor support, housing, and retail. Historic St. Mary's City and members of Trinity Church joined with the College in this planning effort. The planning for the historic sector captures the vision of a small village as first articulated in the 1986 Robertson master plan.
Currently a new 15-year campus master is underway. This plan promises to be our most comprehensive yet, including a facilities plan, a landscape master plan and an arboretum plan.
