From its beginnings in 1925 as a private college offering night classes in business and law, through its evolution as a public institution in the 1980s, and on to its expanded University status in providing transfer, graduate and professional education across a range of disciplines, The University of Baltimore is like no place else.
UBalt is "Different by Design," and as such it is quite impactful in the life of the city, state and region. Unassuming, yet highly ranked for our academic prowess, career-making networks, and the social mobility of our graduates. Ideal for today's professionally oriented, working adult students. Consistently focused on the future. The phrase "modest, but mighty" applies to everything about the University.
With this in mind, we welcome you to The University of Baltimore's 2024 Facilities Master Plan. This plan—the result of more than a year of engagement with every constituency with a stake in the institution's next decade and beyond—aligns a vision for our physical campus in Midtown Baltimore with our mission, our values, and the students we serve.
Within the FMP, you'll find a lively balance between the changing demands facing higher education and the opportunities that arise from this time of transition. Every aspect of life at UBalt has been considered, with an emphasis on meeting long-term goals for the institution.
The FMP considers forward-looking enrollment patterns and educational delivery methods to anticipate future space needs and renewal opportunities that will revitalize key campus spaces and support UBalt's strategic direction. And, it takes a bold stance in supporting a central Baltimore that will continue its upward trajectory as an attractive place to live, work, shop, and enjoy one-of-a-kind cultural amenities. In this vision, The University of Baltimore thrives as a hub of activity that grows more exciting by the day.
Below, you will find both an Executive Summary for the FMP proposal and the Full Report. We invite you to see in our FMP our exciting vision for The University of Baltimore, now ready for its second century.
