Message

JAY A. PERMAN, MD,

President

Every 10 years, UMB has a cherished opportunity to

imagine how our physical campus¡ªour buildings,

walkways, and open spaces¡ªcan advance our noblest

goals: to improve the human condition and serve the

public good.

In this Facilities Master Plan, we imagine a campus that

serves our students with better and more ample spaces

for learning, discovery, and interaction; a campus that

encourages collaboration between disciplines and schools

and speeds the translation of discoveries from bench

to bedside; a campus that binds us more closely to one

another and to our neighbors and partners in Baltimore.

On the north end of campus, we will transform outdated

buildings and vacant lots in a way that creates cohesion

while accommodating future development. We will

continue to strengthen UMB¡¯s identity within Baltimore

by establishing clearer streetscape connections and

reinforcing major gateways to campus. We will partner

with city institutions and agencies to build a vibrant

and safe Westside community¡ªa place that¡¯s rich in art,

culture, and entertainment and in the creative people

they attract.

UMB is a beacon for people committed to improving

human health and well-being. They deserve a campus that

facilitates this work, as does everyone who relies on that

work each day. And so I¡¯m indebted to the large group

of stakeholders¡ªinside and outside the University¡ªwho

mapped this way forward for us all.
