Five major enhancement projects are taking place or have recently been completed around the University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The projects, ranging from infrastructure improvements to building renovation and construction, play a vital role in the function of the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese projects may not be the glitzy ones, but they are necessary and overall, improve the operations here on campus,\u201d said Wade Henley<\/strong>, Interim Vice President of Administrative Affairs. \u201cThe timing of many of these projects will continue to proceed throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The replacement of sewer pipes to limit environmental impact on the Manokin River is one of five major enhancement projects taking place across the University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Among the ongoing projects addressed this summer were the flood mitigation plan at several buildings, including Kiah Hall and Frederick Douglass Library, sewer pipe replacement to limit environmental impact on the Manokin River, and the conversion from diesel fuel to natural gas<\/a> encompassing 11 campus buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the completion of these projects, there will be fewer worries about flooding or utility issues happening to us,\u201d Henley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the renovation projects taking place on campus includes upgrades to George Washington Carver Hall, where interior and exterior improvements are being made. The overhauls at Carver include the refurbishing of laboratory space and the replacement of the roof, windows, and doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henley added that the improvements to Carver and other campus locations, such as residential dormitories, are impactful to overall student experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s all well connected,\u201d he said. \u201cLooking from the standpoint of our strategic plan and our facility master plan, we want to make good sense and good use of the resources of the university.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional checklist items include the construction of a new 25,231-square-foot Agricultural Research and Education Center<\/a>, which began Aug. 12, and renovations to the athletic fields, including the installation of turf fields for the baseball and softball teams<\/a>. Work on the athletic fields is tentatively pegged to begin between October and November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s in academics or athletics, the goal of these projects is to ensure that we have top-notch facilities for our students where they can perform their best and that they are deserving of while receiving the best education they can,\u201d Henley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
