COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - A Baltimore developer has donated $10 million to the University of Maryland to help his alma mater build a high-tech classroom building.
University President Wallace Loh said in a release that the gift from Edward St. John will go toward the construction of a building that will serve up to 10,000 students a day. It will be the first new building on the campus in a half-century.
First new building in half a century? What was the writer smoking? College Park has been adding on non-stop...
ReplyDeleteThe Flag Ship gets it all.
ReplyDeleteso this guy donates 1/6 of the total cost of the building and they are going to name the building after him?
ReplyDeleteIt should be renamed the "Taxpayers of Maryland Teaching and Learning Center."
This is the first new building in 50 years dedicated solely to classroom space -- a kind of building that's very hard to raise money for.
