Draftsmen, Sharpen Your Pencils
The University of Baltimore is holding a contest to design a $107-million law center, reports Edward Gunts, the architecture critic for The Sun.
“University officials are scheduled to announce today that they are working with the Abell Foundation to hold a $150,000 competition to select the architect, landscape architect, and other design consultants for a $107-million law center,” Mr. Gunts writes. “Robert C. Embry Jr., president of the Abell Foundation, has long sought ways to raise the quality of the design of new buildings throughout Baltimore. He said he was receptive to the idea of supporting a design competition for the proposed law center because it will be a prominent building in a key city location.”
Robert L. Bogomolny, the university president, told The Sun, “The purpose of the competition is to get the best possible building for that important site. You want a world-class concept. There are huge talents out there. I am confident that we’re going to attract a lot of interest.”
