AIA Maryland Public Building of the Year

The Nancy R. & Norton T. Dodge Performing Arts Center and Learning Commons, both dedicated in September 2022, were named American Institute of Architects (AIA) Maryland’s Public Buildings of the Year at the organization’s annual Excellence in Design Awards in 2023. The award acknowledged how aestehetic and functional characteristics of the building perfectly complemented one another, the surrouding campus environment and the facility’s mission to serve as a cultural hub for the campus and broader community. This rare combination of form and function makes the Nancy R. & Norton T. Dodge Performing Arts Center a true crown jewel of a campus already renowned for its historic beauty.
