Groundbreaking 2005

Event

Business, political, and community leaders joined with students on Tuesday morning, November 22, for the ceremonial shoveling of dirt, marking the groundbreaking for Education Building III at the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) in Montgomery County.

The new building will double the physical education space on the campus and triple the enrollment capacity, from 2,000 full- and part-time students to more than 6,000. The building will be completed in fall 2007. The fast-growing regional education center, which is part of the University System of Maryland, features more than 30 undergraduate and graduate degree programs offered by seven of the state's leading public universities.
