Last Thursday afternoon, a group of BAF members had the great pleasure to tour the construction site for the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center at the University of Baltimore. We met in the field office of Whiting Turner, the General Contractor for the project and the company tasked with assembling this remarkable building. Mike Barber, an architect with Ayers Saint Gross gave a brief presentation of the design of the building, including the extensive list of sustainable strategies employed by the design team.

Join us for a in-depth discussion and look at the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center. After an international design competition, Behnisch Architekten of Stuttgart of Germany, in partnership with Baltimore’s Ayers/Saint/Gross, Inc., won the international competition to design the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center at UB.
Destined to be one of the greenest buildings in Baltimore and the metropolitan region, it features innovative an approach to interior climate design, interior lighting, water use reduction and energy use reduction. The University is anticipating platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating and we are currently tracking a few points over the threshold - which would make UB’s one of the few law schools in the country to bear this status
We’ll meet with Mike Barber of Ayers/Saint/Gross, Inc. and Brian DeWitt from Whiting Turner. They’ll discuss the project in their office at 1 W. Mount Royal Ave and then walk us through the building.

After decades of reincarnations and neglect, the beautiful Italianate style building has been historically redeveloped under the latest green design and building methods. Transformed into elegant, affordable living and commercial space, this innovative project provides a vibrant, supportive environment where our educators and nonprofits can collaborate and thrive.
