Montgomery College to Host
Public Meeting Jan. 24 on
Takoma Park Campus Expansion Project
(Takoma Park, Maryland) — Montgomery
College will host a public meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 24, to
provide an update on the Takoma Park Campus expansion project
scope and timeline. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will be
held in the Commons Building (Bliss Room) of the Takoma Park
Campus, 7600 Takoma Avenue, Takoma Park.
The College will begin construction next
year on a phased, three-building expansion project that will
expand the campus into south Silver Spring, with a pedestrian
overpass connecting the existing Takoma Park to newly acquired
college property along Georgia Avenue. Among the new additions
to the campus will be:
- A Student Services building on Fenton
Street;
- A 500-seat Cultural Arts Center,
adjacent to Jesup Blair Park;
- A Health Sciences and Continuing
Education building on Georgia Avenue; and
- A new pedestrian bridge that will
link the new buildings to the existing campus and connect
nearby Takoma Park neighborhoods to Jesup Blair Park.
