SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, HISTORY AND CONTEXT

1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This facility program calls for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall on the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland (College). As a major component of the Maryland Heritage Project, the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will provide space for the College and Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) to advance anthropological, cultural, and historical studies, beginning with the original colony. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will accommodate the academic programs of the College that relate most directly to the cultural and archaeological legacy of Maryland’s first capital at St. Mary’s City. In addition, the College will provide space within the building to house the research staff and collections of HSMC. Anne Arundel Hall is built over the actual colonial town; abutting HSMC’s existing Governor’s Field exhibit; thus this site serves as an ideal physical and programmatic interface between St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City. This project includes the replacement of the existing Anne Arundel Hall with a new 33,700 GSF facility. Included will be faculty offices, classrooms and labs for College programs in anthropology, archaeology, and international languages and cultures. Also included in the program are offices for the Study of Democracy which is a joint program for the College and the City. Space allocated to HSMC’s archaeological research program includes offices, archaeology laboratories and storage space for archaeological artifacts. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will enable the College and City to utilize this sector of campus more effectively by coordinating the development of this project with the City’s Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center. Site development features include a new courtyard, improved handicapped accessibility, relocated and expanded College parking, improved roadways and walkways, and landscaping of the area surrounding Anne Arundel Hall and the adjacent Governor’s Field exhibit. As a separate project, federal funds will be used to design and construct a pedestrian bridge across Maryland Route 5 to improve pedestrian access and safety to the site.

1.2 ST. MARY’S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND St. Mary’s College of Maryland is an agency of the State of Maryland that is governed by its own independent Board of Trustees. The College is located within historic St. Mary’s City, the first capital of the State of Maryland and a federally designated national landmark district. The College offers undergraduate liberal arts education to a very highly qualified student body of over 1,800 students. St. Mary’s College of Maryland enjoys a unique status in Maryland’s public education system. As a state institution, St. Mary’s is committed to the ideal of public education--affordable, accessible, and thriving on the diversity of the state’s citizens. At the same time, the State of Maryland has set St. Mary’s apart; unlike the other state colleges and universities, St. Mary’s offers an undergraduate liberal arts education and small college experience of the sort more commonly found at fine private colleges. St. Mary’s shares the hallmarks of such institutions: an outstanding faculty, talented students, high academic standards, a challenging curriculum, small classes, a sense of community, and a spirit of care and intellectual quest.

1.3 MASTER PLANNING Previous Master Plan The College is currently in the midst of an extensive facilities expansion program. This program began in 1986 with the completion of a Campus Facilities Plan that provided a quantitative analysis of the space needs confronting the College. In order to address qualitative building design and siting issues for campus development as a whole, the College commissioned Jacquelin Robertson of Cooper, Robertson + Partners to complete a Campus Master Plan. In his 1988 Campus Master Plan, Robertson presented the College with a comprehensive guide for future campus developments. Robertson articulated several major principals for unifying the campus. These principals focused on the historical, architectural, and natural attributes of the campus. Robertson conveyed his overall vision for St. Mary’s campus in his concept of an Academic Tidewater Village:

The first recommended goal is to affirm the character and scale of the old tidewater village as the best model for any further on-campus development, reinforced through well-articulated design guidelines. Traditional elements of this kind of settlement are agricultural fields framed by hedgerows and woodlands, weathered farm fences surrounding tightly-knit village precincts with mature trees and shady lanes and paths. The old seat of government, the Church, and the College stand side by side overlooking the river, ponds, marshes, upland creeks; a timeless village framed by a distinctive landscape. It is a walking precinct, enhanced by seasonal change, with a sense of permanence, history and pleasantness.

Implementation of the Campus Master Plan began in 1987 with the completion of a townhouse complex including forty-one residential units and an adjacent commons building. A major expansion and renovation of the library was completed in 1990. The construction of a 58,000 gross square foot laboratory and classroom building (Schaefer Hall) for the Division of Natural Science and Mathematics was completed in the fall of 1993 as was another 40 unit townhouse complex. St. Mary’s Hall was renovated in 1994 and Kent Hall was renovated in 1998. The completion of Campus Center and the Recreation center marked the fulfillment of all major projects identified in the 1986 master plan. During this period, the College’s physical plant grew from 242,000 NASF to 444,000 NASF, an increase of 83%. These projects will complete all major elements of the 1986 Campus Facilities Plan. Overall, investment in new and renovated facilities totaled over $65 million. The College contributed approximately $30 million, or 44 percent of the total capital investment since 1986. Current Master Plan The College has made important advancements in the last ten years that have had a significant impact in the development of a new Campus Facilities Plan. Of particular note is the designation of St. Mary’s College by the Maryland General Assembly as a Public Honors College, and the implementation of a new Honors Curriculum requiring senior students to complete a year long research project or creative endeavor in the arts. Enrollment has increased to 1,850 FTE, the projected goal of the current master plan. The College developed the current 10-year Campus Facilities Plan in 1999. Completed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Michael Vergason, Sasaki and Associates, and Tony Blackett, this


3

new plan establishes a framework for the continued development of the campus through 2009. Key factors in the development of the new plan include enrollment expansion and implementation of the new Honors Curriculum.

The new Campus Facilities Plan identified the New Academic Building (Goodpaster Hall) as the highest priority for new construction. Other key components of the Plan include the expansion of Montgomery Hall, the College fine arts facility, and construction of new student housing to support planned student expansion. Maryland Heritage Program and Joint Land Use Planning Subsequent to the completion of the new Campus Facilities Plan, the College embarked on a new planning effort to study opportunities to share land and facilities with the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission, the State agency charged with the preservation and interpretation of the St. Mary’s City national historic landmark district. The College had recognized that joint land use planning with Historic St. Mary’s City Commission (HSMC) would follow the development of its new Campus Facilities Plan. Whereas the new Campus Facilities Plan provided a blueprint for development of the College’s key academic needs, joint land use planning would allow the two institutions to explore ways to mutually enhance their environment, programs and functions, while multiplying both institutions’ input on the regional community and the State of Maryland. The joint land use planning effort, which began in the fall of 1999, resulted in the development of the Maryland Heritage Project. Through this initiative, the College and HSMC will collaborate, identify, research, interpret and promote the incomparable historic and archaeological resources of the Historic St. Mary’s City site. The Maryland Heritage Project will bring contemporary meaning to the civic legacies of the colonial capital of Maryland, and to extend significantly the College’s founding principle to serve as a living academic monument to those first colonists. Since 1999, a number of elements of the Maryland Heritage Project have been. As described in Appendix A, specific Maryland Heritage Project components include the following:

1. St. John’s Site - construction of an exhibit building for the St. John’s archaeological site – designated as Maryland’s first Millennium Heritage Site.

2. Anne Arundel Hall replacement and Calvert Hall renovations - to allow reprogramming of these facilities to support existing and new academic programs that can benefit from the cultural, democratic and anthropological richness of the historic city.

3. New Student Service and Administration Buildings - to provide space for displaced departments from Anne Arundel and Calvert Halls.

4. The Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center – to create a convenient and effective orientation center and exhibit complex for visitors to HSMC in proximity to Governor’s Field.

5. Interpretive development of 17th Century Town Lands.

In 2000, the College and City recognized that in addition to the specific facility projects proposed in the Maryland Heritage Project, joint planning was required to comprehensively address land use and infrastructure issues. Towards this end, a series of focused planning efforts were performed to consider how the properties of the two institutions could be enhanced through collaborative and coordinated study. These studies included the development of a comprehensive traffic plan, a water quality (stormwater) plan, and a signage plan. In 2005,


4

Muse Architects was engaged in a series of land use studies for the historic sector of campus that resulted in a cohesive land use plan for not only the College and the City but also the St. Mary’s Trinity Parish.

SECTION 2: JUSTIFICATION 2.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS – OVERVIEW OF FACILITIES PROBLEMS The College and HSMC are located within the Historic St. Mary’s City National Historic Landmark. The landmark includes extensive 17th century archaeological resources related to the establishment of St. Mary’s City as Maryland’s first capital. As described in Appendix A, the Maryland Heritage Project provides for collaborative developments on College and HSMC property that will advance the scholarship, study and interpretation of the historical legacy of this special and significant site. The Anne Arundel Hall replacement will solve four critical facilities problems:

Academic Programmatic Enhancements College Space Deficiencies HSCM Archaeological Space Deficiencies Physical Condition of Anne Arundel Hall

Academic Program Enhancements The Anne Arundel Hall replacement will enable the College to house new and expanded academic programs that capitalize on the cultural, anthropological and historical richness of the historic city. As such, the primary objective for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall is to collocate within a single facility College anthropology, archaeology and history programs with HSMC’s archaeological research program. Situated within the historic townlands of the capital city and adjacent to the Governor’s Field Exhibit, Anne Arundel Hall is an ideal location for advancing the affiliated programs of the College and the City. The replacement facility will enable College faculty to work collaboratively with HSMC staff in an environment that will enhance the overall quality of both institutions’ programs. Academic programs will be enriched, students will benefit from opportunities to work within HSMC’s artifact processing and analysis labs, and adjacencies to the artifact collection within the building will provide convenient access to HSMC researchers and College faculty/students alike. Section 2.2 below provides specific justification for creating space within the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall to support these academic initiatives. College Space Deficiencies In addition to providing space for College and HSMC programs directly related to the cultural legacy of the historic city, the proposed replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will help alleviate significant campus-wide shortages of College academic space. Specifically, as described in Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, the project will; a) reduce campus wide space deficiencies in classrooms, laboratories and offices, b) specifically reduce space deficiencies within the departments that are housed within the historic campus of and c) accommodate the academic space needs of the international languages and cultures. HSMC Archaeological Space Deficiencies The HSMC Research Department is currently housed in an old residential structure acquired by the state during the late 1970s. The current facility does not meet professional standards for archaeology or for museum curation, as outlined by the American Association of Museums (AAM) and will be a serious obstacle to HSMC receiving museum accreditation. In addition,


6

after nearly 30 years of archaeology, there is simply no space left in the building for storage. The other research efforts in the Maryland Heritage Project will produce huge quantities of archaeological material that must be processed, analyzed and curated. This will totally overwhelm the capacity of the present structure, making a serious situation critical. See Section 2.6 below for detailed information on the space deficiencies within the HSMC archaeological department. Physical Condition of Anne Arundel Hall Overall, Anne Arundel Hall is in poor condition. As described in Section 3, building systems are far beyond their expected life and are failing. Multiple first floors cannot be made handicapped accessible without complete demolition of the floor systems. Windows are seriously deteriorated and the building envelope is too porous to allow for stringent climate control required for archaeological labs and artifact storage. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall provides better value than renovation strategies given the extensive work required to bring the existing building into an acceptable condition.

2.2 ANTHROPOLOGY, ARCHAEOLOGY, HISTORY, AND CENTER FOR DEMOCRACY PROGRAMS As discussed in Section 2.1 above, the reconstructed Anne Arundel Hall will accommodate segments of academic programs of the College that relate most directly to the original colony at St. Mary’s City. The resources most likely to draw faculty and students to the new facilities are archaeological and material culture collections, laboratories, material culture exhibit spaces, and archives, all of which relate to the research projects and interests of professional historians, anthropologists and archaeologists from both anthropological and non-anthropological traditions (history, fine arts, language and cultures) and to SMCM students. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will provide an opportunity to enhance existing academic programs and to develop new courses of study in a unique setting that is rare in undergraduate institutions. Existing Majors The most active student use of the Anne Arundel Hall facility would be through the current majors in history, anthropology, and sociology. Students especially interested in general archaeology and historical archaeology have traditionally selected these routes: SOAN major with a focus in anthropology and emphasis on elective courses with archaeological content; a double major in History and SOAN, with electives selected from history courses with U.S. History, Colonial History and Archaeology content; and a History major, with elective courses selected from anthropology and history courses with archaeological content. Students in these standard majors are well prepared for graduate schools in anthropology, archaeology, history and museology. The following history and archaeology courses are potential electives for the majors described above. Many of these courses could make excellent use of the classrooms, laboratories, exhibit spaces, collections, archives, or other resources in Anne Arundel: HIST 200 American Civilization HIST 301 Immigrant and Family Life in 20th Century America HIST/ANTH 311 American Indian History HIST 312 U.S. Economic and Business History HIST 313 Comparative Colonial History HIST 315 U.S. Diplomatic History to 1900 HIST 316 U.S. Thought: Colonial Period to the Present HIST 317 In Our Times: 1945 to the Present HIST 319 American Expansion to 1900 HIST 360 Early African Civilization HIST 374 Who Owns the Past? HIST 381 History of Ancient Greece and the Hellenistic World HIST 382 History of the Roman Republic and Empire HIST 383 History of the Byzantine Empire HIST 410 Historical Archaeology Field School HIST 419 African-American History in America ANTH 206 Rise of Civilization ANTH 243 Biological Anthropology ANTH 281 Archaeology and Prehistory

Having archaeological collections, laboratories, archives, and exhibit spaces, plus faculty/researchers in one integrated location would make not only for efficiency, but also for learning/project opportunities not previously available. HIST 398,498 Internship HIST 199,299,399,499 Independent Study HIST 493 St. Mary’s Project in History I HIST 494 St. Mary’s Project in History II ANTH 398,498 Internship ANTH 199,299,399,499 Independent Study ANTH 494 St. Mary’s Project ANTH 496 Honors Project Potential Additional Programs The following are the kinds of new courses that could be added to the offerings, given the potential created by the integrated facilities and researchers: HIST 4** Documentary and Archival Research and Analysis HIST 4** Research Approaches to Native American Ethno-history ANTH 4** Identifying, Mapping, and Managing Cultural Resources ANTH 4** Exhibiting the Past: Practicum ANTH 4** Chesapeake History and Culture ANTH 4** Underwater Archaeology HIST/ANTH 4** Directed Research with Visiting Scholars ANTH/HIST 4** Chesapeake History and Culture ANTH 3** Folklore of Maryland and the Middle Atlantic Region ANTH 3** Culture Geography of Maryland

Independent Student Designed Majors In addition to the standard History major, the History major with its concentration in colonial history, the SOAN major with a focus in anthropology and a double History/SOAN major, students may also elect to design their own majors. There is already precedent for an independent student designed major in Historical Archaeology, which could also serve as a model for other students. Variants of the student designed major might include the field school in archaeology at HSMC, a St. Mary’s Project, and 36 additional credit hours of course work. All of the courses are currently offered at the college and are taught by college faculty or professional staff at HSMC and Jefferson Patterson Park. Examples of Independent student designed majors include Historical Archaeology and Archaeology as described below:

Interdisciplinary course offering – “Explorations into Heritage” The proposal is to offer a sequence of interdisciplinary 2-credit courses, tentatively called “Explorations Into Heritage,” taught annually and organized around themes suggested by the Maryland Heritage Project. These courses would be housed in either the Department of History or the Department of Anthropology, to be coordinated by a faculty member in one of these departments. Each course would consist of weekly sessions led by a different faculty member or guest speaker to consider various aspects of the theme featured in the course. The weekly lectures would be advertised and open to the general public. Enrolled students would have required assignments to earn academic credit. This curricular model has been used in the past with great success, generating interest in both the student body and general public


11

Possible themes for the “Explorations into Heritage” program are as follows: Slavery and Freedom The City in History Religion and Religious Toleration Revolution and Resistance Construction of Civil Society Public History Concentration The close relationships between the College, HSMC, and Jefferson Patterson Park Museum (JPPM) present an ideal opportunity for the College to offer students a concentration in public history and/or museum studies. A growing national popular interest in American and regional history is creating extraordinary opportunities for college graduates in museums, historical societies, historic preservation organizations and state agencies, state and national parks, archives, and libraries. A reconstructed Anne Arundel Hall will provide an important academic and physical base from which students and faculty can explore the pleasures and problems of documenting and presenting history and other cultures to an engaged public. A Public History and/or Museum Studies concentration would prepare students for both future employment and future academic work in these fields. A number of colleges and universities currently offer programs in Public History and/or Museum Studies, but many of these programs are offered primarily at the M.A. or Ph.D. level. A need exists to offer undergraduate students practical experience coupled with a strong academic background to prepare them for employment or future academic work. The College, HSMC, and JPPM have the resources to provide this coursework and practical experience in an exceptionally powerful way. A strong interdisciplinary character would distinguish a Public History/Museum Studies concentration at the College and prepare students for the challenges of teaching the public about the past and past cultures. In addition to taking courses in History and Anthropology, students would enroll in courses that emphasize American art and literature, the problem of cultural representation, writing skills, public policy, and theories of learning. Many of the courses listed under the Anthropology and Sociology Program and now offered at SMCM could satisfy requirements in a Public History/Museum Studies concentration. The following courses now offered at SMCM have a public history/museum studies focus or a focus that would enhance the proposed concentration: HIST 374 Who Owns the Past HIST 4** Exhibiting the Past: Practicum HIST/ANTH 3** Historical Ethnography and Cultural Geography (includes public

component) ANTH 306 Practicing Anthropology ANTH 410 Historical Archaeology Field School ANTH 412 Archaeological Curation, Conservation, and Collections Management

HIST/ANTH/CHEM *** Introduction to Conservation Colonial History Concentration The College catalog advertises the opportunity for students to satisfy the requirements for a major in history through a concentration in colonial American history by pursuing a program of individualized study designed in consultation with the history faculty. The Maryland Heritage Project and the plans for a reconstructed Anne Arundel Hall will enable the development of the Colonial American concentration into a more formal and structured academic program. With this project in mind, the History Department is likely to recommend that the next faculty appointment be a specialist in the Colonial Chesapeake. The planned curriculum for the colonial concentration will consist of:

1. A core course (HIST 313, Comparative Colonial History). 2. At least one four-credit course related to developments of a social, intellectual, and

economic nature from colonial origins to their national manifestations. 3. Eight semester hours of European history related to background for colonization. 4. At least eight semester hours of advanced, specialized or applied study in an internship

or apprenticeship. 5. A senior project related to colonial history.

Center for the Study of Democracy The Center for the Study of Democracy is a joint program of St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City. Conceived in 1996 as part of the Governor’s Task Force on Historic St, Mary’s City, the Center combines the missions of both institutions to research, preserve and teach the


13

legacies of representative government, religious tolerance, and the separation of church and state which were embodied in the founding of Maryland’s first capital in St. Mary’s City. The Center provides rich opportunities for students to explore contemporary and historical issues in democracy. Scholars like Dr. James McPherson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Battle Cry of Freedom, are brought to campus as resident scholars. Public presentations and symposiums are organized by the Center on historical and contemporary issues for domestic and international democracies. The Center for the Study of Democracy compliments the academic and research programs that form the core of Anne Arundel Hall’s program. Summary These new programs, as well as those already in place will rely heavily on the capabilities of the new Anne Arundel Hall facility. In addition, the College will provide space within the building to house the research staff and collections of HSMC. Anne Arundel Hall is built over the actual colonial town and abuts HSMC’s existing Governor’s Field exhibit. Thus it services as an ideal physical and programmatic interface between St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City. The closer connections enabled through the shared use of this facility will strengthen the programs of each institution. The creation of expanded and shared physical space exemplifies this important collaboration fostered in broad areas of archaeology, anthropology, sociology, political philosophy, and cultural history. Students, faculty and visiting researchers will have ready access to museum collections and archival resources. This building will be recast not only for St. Mary’s students but for researchers and visitors to Historic St. Mary’s City as well.

2.3 DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGES AND CULTURES The department of international languages has a strong academic affinity with the department of anthropology. Both departments use language as a tool for understanding cultural perspectives and social institutions. Both departments study the traditions and practices that give rise to unique cultures. Some of the courses that are of interest for majors in both departments are as follows: SOAN 101 Culture and the Social Experience SOAN 349 Sociocultural Theory ANTH 230 Sociocultural Anthropology ANTH 250 Language and Culture SOCI 240 Social Interaction ILCT 106 Introduction to World Literature ILCT 293 Introduction to Cultural Studies ILCT 300 Introduction to Linguistics ILCT 301 French and Francophone Studies ILCT 302 German Studies in Translation ILCT 303 Hispanic Studies in Translation ILAS 370 Guatemalan History ILAS 106 Introduction to Latin American Literature in Translation The major in international languages and cultures includes electives in cross-disciplinary fields that focus on language, literacy, or cultural studies. The Anne Arundel Hall project provides an opportunity to strengthen intra-discipline ties between international languages and cultures and studies in anthropology, history, and sociology. Double majors in languages and social sciences are fairly common. The department participates in multi-discipline studies such as African and African Diaspora Studies, Latin American Studies, Asian Studies, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. In recent years, international languages and cultures has assumed a more central place in the academic life of the College. The department has always provided the resources for students to fulfill their language requirements. But with the rise of globalization and emphasis on cultural studies, the department has assumed an important role in the College’s strategic initiative to broaden the educational experiences of its students. Internationalizing the St. Mary’s experience is a priority for the College and International Languages and Cultures has a key role in providing international educational opportunities. Through the department, exchange opportunities have been developed in China, Germany, France, Italy, and Latin America. Finally, there is a strong connection between the faculty of international languages and cultures and the Center for the Study of Democracy. Two international languages and cultures faculty members serve on the oversight committee for the Center for the Study of Democracy which will also be housed in Anne Arundel. These faculty members serve to guide the Center in the study of international and emerging democracies. Moving the department of international languages and cultures to Anne Arundel Hall will provide a physical and collaborative presence that they have not had in their current location at Cobb House.

2.4 CAMPUS WIDE SPACE DEFICIENCIES St. Mary’s College has a significant shortage of core academic and administrative space. Student body expansion, as established in the College strategic and facilities master plans, and illustrated in table 2.1 below, will significantly increase these deficiencies.

Projected 2015 1,844

* The reduction in enrollment shown above in year 2000 was the result of two temporary conditions that will not effect overall enrollment projections. First, a drop in the entering first year class in 1999 (276 students) has now been shown to be a one-year anomaly – the first year classes for fall 2000 through 2002 have averaged over 400. The small 1999 class impacts total enrollment until 2003 when the class graduates. Second, the College graduated one of its largest senior classes in the spring of 2000, further contributing to the fall 2000 drop in enrollment.

As shown in Table 2.2 on the following page, the projected combined deficit in classroom and laboratory space will reach 47% of the allowance and the deficit in open laboratories is projected to reach 14% of the allowance. The College’s 1999 Campus Facilities Plan proposes additional academic space to alleviate these deficiencies in academic space. The Maryland Heritage Project will also contribute to reducing space deficits in offices, classrooms and laboratories. Additional space data is provided in Appendix B. Specific deficiencies in academic space are discussed below.

Classrooms The construction of Goodpaster Hall will do much in reducing the historically high deficit in classrooms. But as shown in Table 2.2, the campus wide deficit in classrooms is still projected to equal 30% of the allowance over the next 10 years, totaling 8,563 NASF. The on-going shortage of classrooms has required extensive scheduling of late afternoon and evening classes. Currently, approximately 15 percent of class sections are held at night – creating a negative impact on co-curricular and extra-curricular programs. Assuming an average classroom capacity of 35 seats, 12 additional classrooms are needed on campus to satisfy the projected deficiency as shown below: 8,563 NASF Deficit (see Table 2.2 above)

700 NASF per average classroom (35 SEATS x 20 NASF/seat) 12 Additional classrooms required Capital projects called for under the College’s current master plan address the deficit in classrooms. As shown in Table 2.3 below, additional classrooms will be distributed among a number of these projects in order to maintain a balance of classrooms among academic buildings. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will include 7 classrooms (net increase of 3 classrooms).

As Shown in Table 2.2, the current campus wide deficit in class-labs is projected to equal 17% of the allowance over the next 10 years totaling 7,937 NASF. Similar to classrooms discussed above, capital projects called for under the College 1999 – 2009 Master Plan and the Maryland Heritage Project are planned to help reduce this class-lab deficiency. Additional class-labs will be included in many of these projects based on the specific program requirements of each academic department. Specifically, Goodpaster Hall will provide additional class-labs to chemistry and psychology. The class-labs in Goodpaster Hall and reallocation of space vacated by chemistry in Schaefer Hall will reduce the current deficit from 31% to 17%. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will include one new class-lab to support anthropology and a class-lab for international languages and cultures, totaling 1,340 NASF. Future projects for art and art history, english, and the Music and Auditorium will produce a net increase of approximately 4,400 NASF in class laboratories.

Future Projected Surplus/ (Deficit) (2,208) The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall and future projects will reduce the projected 2015 deficit by 28%. Open Labs Subsequent to its designation as a Public Honors College in 1991, St. Mary’s has worked to establish a new Honors curriculum. A lynch pin of the Honors curriculum is the “St. Mary’s Project,” a year-long research project or creative endeavor in the arts. Dedication of open laboratories for seniors pursuing St. Mary’s Projects is a critical component of the Campus Facilities Plan. In order to complete their projects, students will need dedicated space. For example, students in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics), psychology and archaeology will need lab space for scientific research. As much of this research will include long term set-up of scientific apparatus, project work for most students in these disciplines cannot be accommodated in instructional labs. In addition to student research labs, space should be provided for studios (fine and performing arts), computing labs and study rooms to allow students in non-science disciplines to pursue their projects. Dedicated student project space will be dispersed throughout academic buildings to allow students working on their projects to be near mentoring faculty. The construction of Goodpaster Hall and reallocation of spaces within Schaefer Hall will have a major impact on fulfilling the College’s need for open laboratories. Combined these projects will add approximately 5,000 NSF of open laboratories for the departments of psychology, chemistry, biology, math, and physics. With the anticipated projects in the master plan, the future inventory of open laboratories will closely match the projected 2015 guideline allowance. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall does provide open laboratories for anthropology and international languages and cultures, totaling 340 NASF. Offices The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will require the demolition of Margaret Brent Hall and the existing structure of Anne Arundel Hall. The current offices within these buildings will be replaced by offices in Goodpaster Hall and the New Student Services Building. Combined these facilities will produce a net increase of 2,422 in the space inventory for the Hegis 300 category. As shown in Table 2.2 above, after the completion of these projects, there will be a projected deficit in office space in 2015 of approximately 12%.


19

The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will further reduce the future projected deficit in offices. Offices will be provided for anthropology, international languages and cultures, the Center of the

Study of Democracy, and faculty in other social sciences. In total, offices and support spaces for the College in the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will be 3,530 NASF. The addition of these spaces will reduce the projected deficit in office space in 2015 to 7%. With future projects, the long standing deficit in office space should finally be reduced to a small percentage or even eliminated.

2.5 SPECIFIC ACADEMIC SPACE DEFICIENCIES - COLLEGE Historic Campus- General While much of the expansion of the campus in recent years has been located on the north campus, the 1988 Robertson Master Plan and the 1999-2009 Campus Master Plan emphasized the need to keep a vibrant academic presence on the historic campus. The primary academic programs for the historic campus are history and the social sciences. In 1998, the departments of history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and economics moved into Kent Hall at the completion of its renovation in 1998. These departments benefited immensely from its relocation out of substandard spaces in Calvert and Anne Arundel Halls into the newly created spaces within Kent Hall. Due to limited size of Kent Hall, however, not all of the space needs for these departments were accommodated. The approved 1992 Facility Program for the renovation of Kent Hall acknowledged that the building would not fulfill all of the space needs for history and the social sciences. At the time the renovation to Kent Hall was programmed and designed, the College placed its highest priority on providing space for offices and laboratories. As a result, many of the departments conduct classes in other campus buildings. In addition to the planned shortage of classroom space, College programs have expanded beyond expectations established in the Kent Hall 1992 Facility Program. Specifically, the College has expanded the size of its student body, expanded faculty positions to maintain student/faculty ratios, and implemented a new curriculum. These changes have resulted in deficiencies in faculty offices, classrooms, instructional laboratories and student research space. In order to respond to these increased space needs, the College’s Campus Facility Master Plan 1999 – 2009 included a provision for the social sciences and history to expand some of its programs into Anne Arundel Hall. The Maryland Heritage Project builds on the proposed Master Plan by establishing in Anne Arundel Hall academic programs within the social sciences that focus on the historical, social, cultural and anthropological legacy of Maryland’s first capital at St. Mary’s City. International Languages and Cultures - General International languages and cultures currently reside in Cobb House apart from the main academic complex of facilities. Cobb House is only large enough to accommodate the faculty offices for the department and offices for administrative functions unrelated to the department. The department must use classrooms and class laboratories at other locations on campus. Under the Campus Facility Master Plan 1999 – 2009, an expansion of Montgomery Hall was proposed in part to consolidate all of the facilities of international languages and cultures in Montgomery Hall. Philosophy and religious studies was to remain in Anne Arundel Hall. An alternative option noted in the master plan was to move international languages and cultures to Anne Arundel Hall. International languages and cultures is slightly larger in size than philosophy and religious Studies with 10 full-time faculty compared to 8 for philosophy and religious studies. After considering department space needs and complimentary academic and research interests, the College decided to pursue the option of housing international languages and cultures in Anne Arundel Hall. Philosophy and religious studies will move to the Cobb House which is a better


21

match in terms of the total space available and the opportunity for quiet, informal meeting spaces that is desired by that department. The Anne Arundel Hall project will include a language laboratory for the department. Currently a multipurpose computer lab at Montgomery Hall is used for this purpose. International languages and cultures must share the laboratory and computer resources with the departments of art, music, and english. Anne Arundel Hall provides the opportunity to develop a new language laboratory that is more focused on the spatial and technical requirement of a language laboratory. Dedicated space needs for the department of international languages and cultures consist of faculty offices, a seminar room, language laboratory, and student project space. The department’s size and program are conducive for sharing common academic space (classrooms, administrative support staff and copy/mail space) in Anne Arundel Hall with academic programs in anthropology and other departments. Office Requirements The departments that comprise history and the social sciences currently include 31 full-time faculty and professional staff. 29 of these offices are located in Kent Hall. 2 full time faculty members reside in other buildings where administrative or support spaces have been converted for their use. Faculty growth – planned campus-wide in order to maintain student faculty ratios through student enrollment growth – will result in adding up to 6 additional full-time faculty members to these departments. Because Kent Hall has no space available for additional faculty, 8 offices will need to be provided in Anne Arundel Hall to accommodate the planned faculty expansion and to provide permanent offices for faculty that have temporary offices at other locations on campus. When faculty members from history and the social sciences move to Anne Arundel, faculty office spaces will be available for new faculty in Kent Hall. The department of international languages and cultures currently includes 10 full time faculty members. An additional office is provided for part-time and adjunct instructors. Allowing for an additional faculty position to accommodate planned student enrollment, the department requires 12 total faculty offices. In the revised program for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall, 2 offices will be provided for the Center for the Study of Democracy. Finally, one administrative support position and one instructional technologist position will be provided to support faculty housed in Anne Arundel Hall. These support positions will support faculty in both the departments of anthropology and international languages and cultures. A room will also be provided for mail, copy machine and office supplies. Classrooms The College projects a significant deficit in classroom space over the next decade that will be largely corrected through capital projects proposed in the 1999 – 2009 Campus Facilities Plan and/or the Maryland Heritage Project. With the construction of the Goodpaster Hall, which will include relocation of the departments and psychology and educational studies to the north campus, the remaining academic programs that will require classroom space in the historic campus include departments that comprise history and the social sciences and the department of international languages and cultures. In order to support these programs within the historic


22

campus, new classrooms will need to be provided in the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall and renovation of Calvert Hall to supplement the classrooms currently located in Kent Hall. As discussed above, Kent Hall does not currently accommodate the entire classroom needs for the departments of history and the social sciences. In order to accommodate the total classroom needs for the historic campus, a total of 11 additional classrooms are required as shown in Table 2.5 below. 9 out of the 11 additional classrooms will be provided by the Anne Arundel Hall replacement project and the planned renovation of Calvert Hall.

Based on space availability, the Maryland Heritage Project allows for 2 additional classrooms to be provided in Calvert Hall and 7 classrooms in Anne Arundel Hall. As now planned, a slight deficit of classrooms (2) will remain for the departments that are located on the historic campus. In order to provide maximum flexibility, the Anne Arundel Hall program will provide four general classrooms in a range of sizes: small, medium and one general use seminar room. In addition, two seminar rooms will be provided; one for anthropology and one for international languages and cultures that can support both classes and open laboratories. Instructional and Research Laboratories As shown in Table 2.2 above, the campus-wide deficit in class-lab space is projected to equal 17% of the allowance. The deficit of class-lab space for the departments that will be housed on the historic campus will be 2,059 NASF as shown in Table 2.6 below.

Deficit in Class-Lab Space on the Historic Campus (2,059) For the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall, two class-labs are proposed—one for anthropology and one for international languages and cultures. Currently, the department of anthropology occupies a physical anthropology/archaeology lab in Kent Hall. In order to benefit from the adjacencies to be achieved by the collocation of College and City anthropology and archaeology programs, the College requires this instructional anthropology lab to be located in Anne Arundel Hall. The existing physical anthropology/archaeology lab in Kent Hall is currently utilized for instruction, St. Mary’s Projects and faculty research. Multiple use by each of these activities creates scheduling problems for the department. Apparatus and materials utilized by student and faculty for research must be routinely broken down to accommodate the needs for instructional labs. Often, the space is not available when convenient to students and faculty to conduct their research. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will move the instructional function to that building and leave the current laboratory in Kent for faculty research. The physical anthropology/archaeology lab in Anne Arundel Hall will include casework benches with epoxy resin tops, sinks, storage space for artifacts and fume exhaust. In addition to the lab, a lab storage room is required to house equipment, artifacts and other materials used for lab instruction. The department of international languages and cultures currently shares a computer laboratory with other departments in Montgomery Hall. This arrangement does not fully meet the needs of the department for the type of flexible and interactive computer facilities that are needed for language instruction. A laboratory of approximately 770 NASF is proposed. Open Laboratories As discussed in Section 2.3 above, open labs are used at the College to support St. Mary’s Projects (SMP). A student project room (open lab) is proposed in Anne Arundel Hall to support student research in the areas of anthropology, archaeology and public history. Student research in these areas will benefit immensely by being physically located near archaeological collections, laboratories, archives, and faculty/researchers, from both the College and Historic St. Mary’s City. The student project room in Anne Arundel Hall will include computer stations, carrels and meeting space for senior students pursuing St. Mary’s Projects in subjects that do not require


24

“wet-lab” facilities. Students pursuing projects in archaeology or physical anthropology will share the research laboratory with faculty. One student project room is designated for international languages and cultures. Many international languages and culture students do SMP projects that require multi-media productions. The project room will provide video editing and recording equipment to support the technical needs of these projects. The room will also be used for private language tutorials. Conference Rooms As shown in Table 2.2 the College is in short supply of conference rooms to support various meeting requirements of academic programs. Currently, Anne Arundel Hall includes the Blackistone Room, a medium sized room located on the ground floor that was dedicated to the memory of the Blackistone family. The campus community uses this 700 NASF room for various conferences meetings and presentations. The current room is often too small for the functions scheduled in this room. The program for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall increases the room size by approximately one-half. The Blackistone Room is envisioned as a space where local history, the civil legacies of St. Mary’s City, and the heritage of the College can be prominently exhibited.


25

2.6 EXISTING DEFICIENCIES – HISTORIC ST. MARY’S CITY The HSMC Research Department is currently housed in a residential structure acquired by the state during the late 1970s. It is a 2000 square foot home with a full basement, totaling 4000 gross square feet of space. While modifications have been made over the years, the structure was never intended to meet the needs of scientific research or a modern curation facility and has not kept pace with the growing role of the Research Department in the development of the museum. The current facility does not meet professional standards for archaeology or for museum curation, as outlined by the American Association of Museums (AAM) and will be a serious obstacle to HSMC receiving museum accreditation. In addition, after nearly 30 years of archaeology, there is simply no space left in the building for storage. The other research efforts in the Maryland Heritage Project will produce huge quantities of archaeological material that must be processed, analyzed and curated. This will totally overwhelm the capacity of the present structure, making a serious situation critical. The current Research facility at HSMC is deficient and inadequate in a number of specific ways. The most obvious of these is the lack of storage space. Years of archaeological research have produced over 3 million artifacts and hundreds of cubic feet of associated records. The storage capacity of the present structure was exceeded five years ago and portions of the collection are scattered though other buildings on the museum property. Lack of a centralized storage facility leads to an inefficient use of staff time searching for parts of the collection in multiple locations and objects stored in differing environments. With the proposed projects over the next decade, this situation can only become worse. Since it is difficult to estimate the rate of growth within the archaeological collections of Historic St. Mary’s City, a projected growth analysis has been done, based on the collected data on the historic growth of the current collection. This was accomplished by assigning different collections, to the time period they were recovered, and prorating them to the number of years the project encompassed. The data was collected in terms of Holinger Records box units, since this is the standard storage unit for the archaeological collections. The boxes are approximately 16.5 x 13 x 12. These estimates include the main artifacts and the rubble and sample classes of material and are different than the study collection since it is curated in geological cabinets. It should also be noted that collection growth is episodic and periodic and therefore, is a function of the type and intensity of the projects. With all of the projected work relating to the Maryland Heritage Project the rate of growth may in fact be more rapid than the historic averages predict. APPENDIX “D”, Figure 1 shows the approximate annual additions to the collections since inception of the Research program in 1970. As mentioned previously, the amount of material added any given year is extremely variable. Figure 2 shows the cumulative growth within the collection. This is arrived by adding each successive year of artifacts, to a running total, and as a result, shows a steady growth over time, which is variable based on the intensity of the site and collection strategy. These figures suggest a collection currently that is just shy of 3,000 Holinger record boxes. Using these cumulative figures we can project a growth line (straight linear fit) which is demonstrated in Figure 3. Based on these projections, the collection should contain approximately 5,000 Holinger record boxes by the end of 2020. The current scheme provides approximately 1700 NASF of compacted storage in the Main Collection Storage Area (1450 NASF) and Dry Collection Storage Area (250 NASF) combined. Based on a ceiling height of 8 foot, this space would hold approximately 6500 standard Holinger


26

record boxes on compacted shelving. With the current growth rate sustained over time, the compacted area would be completely filled sometime around 2035. Of course, with the extremely intensive artifact collection phase projected as part of the Maryland Heritage Program will doubtlessly accelerate collection growth over the next decade. However, even with this high rate of artifact collection, the space should be sufficient for the next 25 years. A second problem with the current facility is inadequate environmental controls. The AAM has very strict guidelines related to how museum collections are to be curated, as does the U.S. Department of the Interior for archaeological materials and HSMC has tried very hard to maintain these standards for its collection. The preservation of this collection is not only a professional responsibility but also a legislated mandate. However, the current facility can not be cost effectively upgraded because it was never intended to be a curation facility. Without a new facility, HSMC will be unable to carry out its responsibilities. There are physical threats to the collection as well. The current facility lacks a fire suppression system. Artifacts and records curated at the Research Department are the product of 30 years of scientific work and are irreplaceable. They represent a priceless part of the heritage of all Marylanders and their loss would be catastrophic. In a similar vein, the present facility has minimal security and is unoccupied throughout the night. Lack of security is a major threat to the materials and is difficult to remedy in the present facility because of its construction and isolated location. This is especially serious because of the growing market in looted archaeological objects. Another threat to the collection is that of decay. Archaeological collections need to be monitored on a regular basis and decaying artifacts must be conserved. The present facility has a small conservation lab. Even when this lab was created in the late 1980s, it was already below professional standards. Without an upgraded and fully functional conservation lab, valuable objects in the collection will suffer irreparable damage and unique evidence about early Maryland forever lost.

Finally, the present facility has an inadequate amount of analysis space. Archaeological research demands adequate layout space to sort materials, study linked proveniences and analyze material groups such as ceramics or animal remains. As the HSMC collection has grown over the years, more and more space formerly used to analyze artifacts has been given over to storage. Analysis is now done under exceedingly cramped conditions and is highly inefficient. Also, HSMC has agreed to accept some SMC students working on honors projects as part of the college’s St. Mary’s Projects program. There is not enough space in the present facility to allow more than one of these at a time. More analysis space is essential if HSMC is to expand its participation in this program. In summary, the current facility that houses the HSMC Research Department is inadequate for the department’s space needs and can not be modified to meet those needs. For the Research Department to meet its goals and carry out its functions, it needs a structure that meets its professional needs. With the many excavations and studies proposed in the Maryland Heritage Program, such improvement is essential if these projects are to be successfully conducted and the heritage of early Maryland is to be properly preserved for future generations.

SECTION 3: REPLACEMENT OF ANNE ARUNDEL HALL 3.1 PHYSICAL CONDITION OF ANNE ARUNDEL HALL Anne Arundel Hall was initially constructed in 1954. While the building has undergone some minor interior renovations over the past decade, the building overall is substandard. The building does not meet current life safety and building codes. Mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems are original and wholly inadequate both in capacity and condition. The building is not handicapped accessible; windows are original and in poor condition; and the exterior walls do not provide an adequate moisture barrier to allow proper control of indoor humidity required for storage of archaeological artifacts. See Appendix E, Existing Building Condition Report, for additional information. Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical Existing building HVAC systems are old and in serious decline. The boiler and associated equipment are almost 50 years old and require significant corrective maintenance to remain marginally operable. The air conditioning system consists of through wall condensing units that are in dire need of replacement. Over the past three years over 50% of these units have failed. Replacement parts are no longer manufactured making repairs difficult and costly. In addition to HVAC issues, the plumbing and electrical systems are also in very poor condition. Domestic plumbing systems are showing signs of deterioration as evidenced by occasional leaks. Electrically, the building is significantly underpowered to support modern office and instruction equipment. Accessibility Only portions of Anne Arundel Hall are handicapped-accessible. The first floor has three different levels, two of which are accessible via exterior ramps and one that is not accessible. Because there are no ramps to connect the three floor levels inside the building, accessibility is not provided between the three first floor levels. Also, there is no elevator making the second floor inaccessible. In order to make the building fully accessible, the interior floors need to be replaced at a common level, additional exterior ramping needs to be provided, and an elevator installed. Bathrooms The existing building’s toilet facilities do not comply with accessibility standards, nor are there sufficient toilet facilities available for the capacity of the building. The second floor, for example, only has one toilet facility for males and does not provide a facility for females. Structural The existing building consists of a mix of building sections including a main two story section with an attic and slate roof, a one story section with slate roof, and three single story sections with flat roofs. Exterior walls are cinder block, faced with an integrally bonded wythe of brick. Special note is taken of the fact that the structural block is cinder block, rather than concrete block. A popular building material in the early 1950s, cinder block uses ash instead of sand and gravel in the concrete mix that forms the block, making the block lightweight and economical to purchase and install. However, cinder block is not as strong as concrete block containing sand


28

and gravel aggregate. In addition, the exterior wall is not grouted, reinforced, or insulated, and contains no cavity. The floors are thin (2-1/2” thick concrete) on conventional steel bar joists of varying depth. This section is inadequate to support the loads required for the storage of archaeological artifacts. In addition, the attic floor is 2” vermiculite concrete on reinforced building paper and has significantly deteriorated to the extent that the floor in the attic could not be relied upon to house the new mechanical equipment required to support labs, artifact collection storage and other classroom and office spaces. The gabled roof is slate on wood framing, and the flat roof is a multi-ply built-up membrane over a concrete deck. Exterior Walls Archaeological research labs planned for the building will require modern ventilation (fume hoods), and artifact storage requires separate and highly controlled climate control systems. A specific consideration of this building concerns the fact that cinder block is more vulnerable to moisture making the exterior walls inadequate for providing protection in a building that requires highly controlled mechanical humidification.


29

3.2 REPLACEMENT RATIONALE As described previously in Section 3.1, Anne Arundel Hall is both in poor condition and poorly suited to support the special mechanical, environmental and structural requirements of the College and City programs proposed for this facility. While early programming efforts for this project focused on renovating the existing structure, it was determined that the level of renovation necessary would be very extensive. Examples of renovation work that would be required include:

the entire first floor would need to be demolished and replaced to make it handicapped accessible and to accept floor loadings for artifact storage (see Appendices G-1 and G-2 for additional information),

an additional exterior wall layer would need to be provided to mitigate the lack of moisture control in the existing exterior wall system (see Appendix G-1 for additional information),

all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems would need to be replaced,

most interior walls, including some load bearing walls, would need to be demolished to accommodate functional space needs (see Appendices G-1 and G-2 for additional information),

the attic floor and flat roof decks would need to be replaced in order to support new mechanical equipment (see Appendix G-2 for additional information),

all windows would need to replaced,

exterior walls would require significant patching where existing through wall mechanical units were removed, and

exiting stairs would need to be relocated (see Appendices G-1 and G-3 for additional information).

In addition to the above, existing Anne Arundel Hall is too small to accommodate the space needs envisioned for the facility. If the existing structure were to remain, additions would be required above current one story space. Overall, the resultant renovated and expanded building would be inefficient and compromises in spatial relationships would be required. Replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will also enable the College and City to make better use of the overall land in this area. The City plans to build a new museum and visitor center next to Anne Arundel Hall. This area is chosen given its proximity to the Governors Field Exhibit and the historic town center. Because land in this area is very limited and constrained by archaeological resources, replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will allow the siting of these two facilities to be coordinated so as to make best use of the available land. See Section 5.4 for additional information. Given the above, this facility program proposes that demolition and replacement of Anne Arundel Hall provides the State overall better value than renovation and expansion. As described in Section 5.6 below, replacement is estimated to cost approximately 11% more than renovation and expansion. The added benefits clearly support this added expenditure.

SECTION 4: SPECIFIC SPACE REQUIREMENTS - HSMC

4.1 RESEARCH OFFICE REQUIREMENTS Research Offices (1,230 NASF) encompass seven individual offices (150 NASF each) plus one shared office (180 NASF). All offices must include standard computer and telephone network connections. Moving the Research Offices to a location on Campus will facilitate interaction with St. Mary’s College students and faculty, particularly with the four HSMC scholars who hold teachings positions as adjunct faculty with the College. 4.2 RESEARCH PROCESSING, CONSERVATION AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS The areas included in this discussion encompass the Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, Artifact Processing Laboratory, Artifact Analysis Workroom, and Documentation Workroom. Each has specific requirements but all share the function of archaeological processing and analysis. The Archaeological Conservation Laboratory is perhaps the most complex of the artifact processing areas. This space (550 NASF) must include a built in vented fume hood, chemical quality (acid proof) work surfaces, built in laboratory equipment storage cabinets, built in water de-ionizing system, laboratory sinks, a built in electric oven, vacuum chambers, a dishwasher for laboratory glass ware, a shielded X-ray room and equipment, and appropriate safety equipment including an eye wash station. Access to the computer network is also required. Activities which go on in this space involve potentially harmful acids and volatile chemicals used in artifact treatment. Artifact Processing Laboratory (475 NASF) must include laboratory sinks with sediment traps, built in artifact drying racks, open shelving for incoming artifact collections, work tables and appropriate cabinetry for supplies storage. Access to the computer network is also required. This space must be adjacent to an exterior exit/loading dock so that collections coming in from the field can be easily transferred into this area. Artifact Analysis Workroom (1,200 NASF) must include built in open shelving and built-in flat accessible storage (non-reactive geology style cabinets or equivalent) around the perimeter of the room. Most of the space will be given over to work tables for artifact lay out and analysis efforts. This area will also include a microscope work station and three computer work stations for artifact cataloging. A small reference library of artifact identification books will also be housed in this space, requiring appropriate shelving. This area needs UV filtered, special “white light” illumination for true color description and three deployable (“elephant truck”) fume extractor devices. Documentation Workroom (200 ft. sq.) includes drafting facilities, a small light table, a photographic copy stand setup with photo lights and a computer graphic workstation with an associated Geographical Information System (GIS), and associated peripherals.


31

Dusting Room (50 NASF) is located adjacent to the Receiving Room. This space is where incoming artifacts are dusted / cleaned of dirt and debris before being processed. Receiving Room (150 NASF) is a conditioned space that is directly adjacent to the exterior artifact loading area. It is the first stop in the processing of artifacts coming directly from the field. This is a conditioned space. Unisex Shower (30 NASF) is located directly adjacent to the Loading doors and the Receiving Room. The shower is used by field personnel, who are often dirty from work in the field.

4.3 RESEARCH CURATION AND ARCHIVE REQUIREMENTS The archaeological and record archive collections of Historic St. Mary’s City constitute a unique resource that documents the National Historic Landmark. These materials have specific curation needs that must be reflected in the facility design. Specifically, each specialized area needs zoned environmental controls to achieve the appropriate levels of temperature and humidity control. Two areas fall most clearly under this requirement: Artifact Collection Curation (4,000 NASF) and Record and Archive Storage (200 NASF). These spaces need to be contiguous for ease of utilization, and share several characteristics. Specifically, all must have highly controlled access, complete security, fire suppression systems and UV filtered light sources. Additionally, each of these areas need to be fully wired for access to the computer network. By implementing the design as outlined, these spaces will fully meet the standards for curation promulgated by the American Association of Museums and are necessary to achieve full museum accreditation. Additionally, the facility will fully meet current Federal Standards for the Curation of Archaeological Materials (36CFR Part 79 and the Curation of Cultural Property as outlined in CFR 501 C-3 by the National Park Service. The Artifact Collection Curation space needs to be subdivided into four distinct areas to achieve specific curatorial environmental requirements:

1) A “super-dry” space (400 NASF) is needed for metal artifacts to accomplish environmentally driven passive conservation. This space needs to be segregated from the rest of artifact curation to maintain this special environment. The “super-dry” space needs compacted storage (approximately 250 NASF) and built-in flat accessible storage (non-reactive geology style cabinets or equivalent) filling the remainder of the space. 2) A non-archaeological and special collection storage area of 400 square feet. This space will hold objects that require higher humidity levels such as furniture, remains of the Calvert family wood coffins, and other organic artifacts. This area should be segregated so as to maintain a highly constant temperature and humidity. The space needs approximately 250 square feet of compacted storage and built-in oversize storage shelves occupying the remaining space. 3) The Archaeological Collection Storage Area contains 2,100 NASF of compacted storage and will house the bulk of the archaeological collection. This area should be segregated to more efficiently maintain a constant temperature and humidity. It will not be accessed on a continual basis. 4) A Study Collection Curation Area will contain 950 square feet of space. Since it will be accessed be staff and visiting scholars on a more frequent basis, this space needs to be segregated from the rest of artifact curation to most efficiently maintain a constant environment. It requires built-in flat accessible storage (non-reactive geology style cabinets or equivalent) sufficient to house the ever expanding Study Collections. We currently estimate about two thirds of this space will be devoted to built-in flat accessible storage (non-reactive geology style cabinets or equivalent)

PART I FACILITY PROGRAM REPLACEMENT OF ANNE ARUNDEL HALL – MARYLAND HERITAGE PROJECT ST. MARY’S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND

34

with the remainder used as workspace by scholars (large table area). Additionally, all of the curation spaces need extra wide doors to facilitate the movement of materials in the facility.

The Record and Archive Storage area (200 NASF) requires the same level of zoned environmental control outlined for the Artifact Collection Curation Area described above. This entire area will be one zone. The area will include 80 NASF of compacted storage and three banks of map-style flat storage cases (60 NASF) with the remaining space occupied by slide storage cabinets and a light table for slide sorting. This area will hold the original, primary records that document the archaeological excavations, and some original historical documents. The space must have UV filtered lighting, a high level of security and a dry fire suppression system. This area will also serve to house portions of the HSMC institutional archive.


35

4.4 OTHER HSMC SPACE REQUIREMENTS Other HSMC Space Requirements include a range of other facilities which do not logically fall under the above divisions. These include the Research Library (450 NASF), Conference Room (180 NASF) and the Support Staff/Copy/Mail/Supplies Room (195 NASF). Research Library (450 NASF) houses a small, very targeted collection of specialized references (approx. 3000 volumes) and copies of historical documents. This space will mostly be given over to library style shelving (both standard and oversized) and file cabinets and include a work table and a computer work station. This space will need UV filtered lighting and should include a study carrel for visiting researchers. Support Staff (180 NASF) serves basic support functions including housing a secretary. A centrally located area is assigned for the photocopier, network printer, supply storage area with appropriate cabinetry and a kitchenette, will be a shared space for the College and the City (180 NSAF).


36

SECTION 5: PROJECT DESCRIPTION 5.1 SCOPE/GENERAL This facility program calls for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall on the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The project includes demolition and replacement of the existing 27,422 GSF Anne Arundel Hall with a new 33,700 GSF facility to accommodate College academic programs within the departments of anthropology, archaeology, history, and international languages and cultures. The project also includes the Historic St. Mary’s City archaeology department and the Center for the Study of Democracy. Included will be offices, classrooms, instructional and research labs, storage for archeological artifacts and a large meeting room that will be shared by the College and the City. Overall, the project will allocate 9,900 NASF to the College and 8,565 NASF to HSMC, with an overall 18,465 NASF. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will enable the College and City to utilize this sector of campus more effectively by coordinating the development of this project with the City’s Maryland Heritage Center. Site development features include a new courtyard, improved handicapped accessibility, relocated and expanded College parking, improved roadways and walkways, and landscaping in the land surrounding Anne Arundel Hall and the adjacent Governor’s Field exhibit.

5.4 SITE DEVELOPMENT Site Opportunities Anne Arundel Hall is located in the historic campus adjacent to the Governor’s Field Exhibit of Historic St. Mary’s City. In addition, it physically sits over Middle Street, one of the town roads leading from the town center of the historic city. As stated previously, this site is ideally suited for collocating College and City programs focusing on the anthropological, archeological and historical legacy of St. Mary’s City. Replacement of Anne Arundel Hall on this site takes advantage of an excellent opportunity to improve the programmatic use of facilities in this section of the campus. As shown in Appendix C, Anne Arundel is located on a small piece of land constrained by State Routes 5 and 584, church property, and archaeological resources. Anne Arundel Hall and Margaret Brent Hall, the only two college structures in this area, are poorly sited to campus pedestrian circulation patterns. In addition, the City plans to build its new visitor and exhibit center adjacent to the reconstructed Anne Arundel Hall. Utilizing this site will enable the City to offer its museum services in close proximity to its Governors Field Exhibit, state house and the historic town center. Joint land-use planning by the College and City has shown that this site can be effectively redeveloped to support both the new Anne Arundel Hall and the new museum in a coordinated manner that improves the overall use of the site. This land use plan will enhance both College and City programs in a collaborative, functional and aesthetic manner. Site Development Objectives Specific site development objectives for this sector of campus have been derived from the joint land-use study are summarized below. See Section 7.3 for detailed descriptions.

• Organize the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall and the new Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center around a central courtyard through which pedestrian circulation is provided between the historic campus and the central campus.

• Minimize impacts to archaeological resources.

• Create handicapped accessible entries.

• Implement the walkway and utility easement through church property between the Calvert/Kent quad and the Anne Arundel site.

• Create views and pedestrian pathways to the reconstructed State House that reinforce the significance of this structure within the College environment.

• Organize the entrance to the Interpretive Center on Middle Street.

• Improve the safety of the pedestrian crossing at Route 5 by including new walkways, stairs, and provisions for a pedestrian bridge to be constructed over Route 5 with the use of federal funds.


42

• Resurface Route 584 (Old State House Road) including new brick sidewalks from Route 5 to the Anne Arundel Hall project site.

• Plan modifications to Route 584 (Trinity Church Road) from Calvert Hall to the River Center that limit vehicle traffic and improved pedestrian circulation and safety as a future project.

• Reserve land to accommodate future student residences and/or retail facilities.

Parking Parking in the historic campus is very limited and poorly organized into a number of small lots. While the City’s Governor’s Field parking lot provides good parking for visitors, College parking is inadequate in quantity and inappropriately occupies land in the middle of the historic sector of campus that is better utilized for new facilities (Anne Arundel Hall and the Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center) and walkways. Consistent with the College’s parking master plan; the two lots adjacent to Anne Arundel Hall will be removed as well as the lot adjacent to Margaret Brent Hall. The project will need to replace the 85 spaces eliminated and provide a net increase of up to 165 spaces (250 total spaces) on Mill Field which is adjacent to the Campus Center. Plans for the Mill Field parking will also include modifications to Mill Field Drive which will provide a more coherent and safe intersection at Route 5.


43

5.5 PROJECT MANAGEMENT In 2006, St. Mary’s College of Maryland was granted procurement and management authority for state funded capital projects. The capital budget requests for the Anne Arundel Hall replacement project include funds for project management during design and construction. The existing facilities staff at the College is not equipped to handle this project in addition to other projects currently planned. In lieu of hiring additional full-time staff, the College proposes to use capital funds to support project management consulting services. Under this strategy, a consulting firm will provide one full-time project manager to supplement the capital project manager staff currently reporting to the College’s Associate Vice President of Facilities. The consulting project manager will be assigned to direct the College’s internal management of this project. The services are anticipated to last from the initiation of the design selection process through building commissioning. In addition, the College will probably use the construction contract form of Construction Manager at Risk (CM). This will enable the College to select a contractor during the design process so that the CM may participate in crucial design and costs decisions. The CM would also provide a constructability review of the construction documents.


44

5.6 ALTERNATIVES Preferred Option

The primary justification of this project, as described in Section 2.1, is to collocate into one facility. College anthropology and history programs with the archaeological research department of HSMC. The demolition and replacement of Anne Arundel Hall is chosen as the preferred solution for the following key reasons:

The new facility will provide an ideal setting for the College to advance academic programs focusing on the historical and archaeological legacy of Maryland’s first capital as described in Section 2.2.

The new facility will help alleviate the College’s critical classroom, lab and office space deficiencies as described in Section 2.3.

The new facility will provide needed space for the departments of anthropology, history, and other social sciences as described in Section 2.5. Utilizing the Anne Arundel site will keep the department of anthropology and other faculty members drawn from history and the other social sciences in proximity to their colleagues in Kent Hall. Combined with the renovation to Calvert Hall, the five departments of history, sociology, anthropology, economics and political science will remain within the historic campus precinct.

The new facility will provide needed space for the department of international languages and cultures and religious as described in Section 2.3. Locating the department of international languages in Anne Arundel Hall provides multiple-discipline opportunities that the department does not have at its current location in Cobb House.

The new facility will resolve critical quantitative and qualitative space problems for the City’s archeology programs including the processing and storage of artifacts as described in Section 4.

The Anne Arundel Hall site was chosen as the most viable location for the collocation of the proposed College and City programs due to its important position at the junction of the College’s historic campus and the historic townlands of the City. This site has the potential to be redeveloped in a way that strengthens the programs of both institutions.

The demolition and replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will allow the replacement of an aged and inadequate facility that is not easily adapted to the physical requirements of the new programs as described in Sections 3.1 and 3.2.

Alternative Strategies The following alternative strategies were evaluated: Renovation and Expansion of Anne Arundel Hall: This alternative was studied extensively during the programming study. While this option could provide a marginally acceptable solution to the facility problems, its shortcomings led to the creation of the proposed program to reconstruct the building. As described in Section 3.1 and 3.2, the level of renovation work


45

required to make effective use of the existing facility for the proposed programs is extensive. Disadvantages of renovation and expansion include:

Utilizing an aged building that is poorly suited for the technical needs of the program.

Designing a complex program within the confines of the existing structure – leading to compromises in the efficient and effective layout of the facility.

Loss of the opportunity to redevelop the site to improve its integration within the historic campus.

Loss of the ability to coordinate land planning with the City’s new visitor and exhibit facility to make best use of the limited land resources in the area.

The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall offers better overall value than renovation and expansion of the existing building. As shown in Table 5.5 below (prepared in 2003), the estimated project cost to renovate and expand Anne Arundel Hall is $14.4 million compared to $16.0 million for its demolition and replacement. The 11% incremental cost to reconstruct Anne Arundel Hall is merited given the substantial benefits derived by replacing the existing building.

Percent Increase 11%

* Construction costs shown above compare to line 12 of the DGS Cost Estimate Worksheet (CEW) and are exclusive of contingencies, inspections and other miscellaneous construction costs.

Moving the program to another site: This alternative would leave the archaeological and

academic interests deprived of a unique opportunity to be situated literally in the midst of


46

their subject matter. This important relationship is considered critical to the success of these programs. In addition, because archaeological resources within the historic campus prohibit the construction of a new facility near the core exhibits of HSMC, replacement of Anne Arundel can provide the required space without significant impacts. Last, the construction of a new building for student service offices displaced from Anne Arundel Hall can be accomplished on the north campus without significant impact to historic resources.

Separate College and City Programs: The Maryland Heritage Project was created

through the legislatively mandated affiliation between St. Mary’s College and the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall is a primary component of the Maryland Cultural Legacy initiative within the Maryland Heritage Project. To separate the College anthropology program from the HSMC research program is counter to the philosophy of the affiliation.

SECTION 6: PROJECT ANALYSIS 6.1 INTRODUCTION The area surrounding Anne Arundel Hall has been designated a national historic landmark district in recognition of St. Mary’s City’s status as the first capital of Maryland. St. Mary’s College was established by the Maryland legislature as a living monument to the historic city. Historic St. Mary’s City has been directed by the Maryland legislature to preserve the archaeological remains of the original colony. The long association between College and City will be physically embodied in Anne Arundel Hall. Following Governor Glendenning’s Task Force on the affiliation of St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City, a formal alliance was created, giving the College and the City mutual and complementary roles as stewards of Maryland’s earliest historic legacy. This alliance created the Maryland Heritage Project, dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of this historic site. One of the Maryland Heritage Project’s initiatives is the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall, which will provide a facility and setting for the combined effort of the College and City to advance archaeological, anthropological, and historical studies. Anne Arundel Hall is built over portions of the actual colonial town of St. Mary’s City, and so it is ideally positioned to serve as a physical and programmatic interface between St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City. Anne Arundel Hall’s position makes it highly visible along the walkway en route from the central part of campus, making it an important node on the primary walkway from that more modern precinct to the old historic campus and city. In addition, the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall allows the College to redevelop the site in coordination with the construction of the City’s Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center to take best advantage of the attributes of this important area.

6.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES Project Objectives include:

a) Fostering collaborative efforts between the College (SMCM) and the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission (HSMC), particularly the study of the rich cultural and archaeological heritage of Maryland’s first capital;

b) Providing facilities permitting proper analysis and research space for HSMC

to carry out its continuing archaeological work while also providing space for students working on honors projects in archaeology, as part of the College’s hallmark St. Mary’s Projects program;

c) Providing facilities permitting HSMC to fulfill its legislated mandate to

preserve an artifact collection resulting from thirty years of archaeological research, at standards for archaeology and museum curation established by the American Association of Museums;

d) Providing facilities for the departments of anthropology, history and other

social sciences for class and laboratory instruction, and for faculty laboratory research, particularly in program areas related to the city.

e) Providing offices and instructional space for the department of international

languages and cultures;

f) Providing a primary, multi-purpose meeting facility to support the programs within the facility and other College and City needs within the “old” campus precinct, insuring active use and therefore reinforcing the importance of this part of St. Mary’s campus;

g) Providing office facilities for both HSMC and SMCM; h) Providing a facility that conveys the heritage of St. Mary’s College as the

“living monument” of the founding colony and first capital of Maryland;

i) Carrying out joint land use planning to improve walkways, handicapped accessibility, parking, landscaping, and interpretation of the land surrounding Anne Arundel Hall site and the adjacent Governor’s Field exhibit, and

j) Reinforcing the 1988 Master Plan goal of a walking campus;

6.3 PROJECT ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The following steps were taken to generate the square footage in the program and establish design criteria for the project:

• Review of Campus Facilities Master Plan and Maryland Heritage Project: Based on these long-range planning documents a detailed analysis of future facility needs was performed which investigated consolidation of existing facilities, relocation of departments required by these plans, and additional space required to meet projected future need.

• Interviews and Meetings: Representatives of the administration, faculty, staff and student body were questioned and interviewed to establish desirability, square footage and functional relationships for each program area: Interviews included discussion of the following:

a) Desirability / necessity to relocate existing program areas;

b) Development of projected space requirements (i.e., determining additional space required to accommodate both present and future functions);

c) Desired improvements to existing program areas;

d) New facilities required or desired;

e) Type and character of spaces required;

f) Space requirements for required equipment and functions;

g) Critical functional relationships;

h) Requirements for special mechanical service, lighting, storage, sound or communications;

i) Required related improvements to project site and nearby landscape;

j) Extent and type of support functions.

• Analysis of Renovation Options: Certain portions of the Program have very specific requirements. Those requirements were contrasted with the existing systems and conditions in Anne Arundel Hall. Using knowledge gained by that analysis (see this analysis in Appendix G-1), conceptual diagrams were prepared (Appendix G-3) as tools for studying possible locations and relationships of activities within the building. A structural analysis (Appendices E and G-2) and a mechanical feasibility study (Appendix H) were performed to determine the scope of work required to support the Program. This overall analysis resulted in the determination that the extent of renovation and expansion were so great that this option was abandoned in favor of demolishing the existing building and building a new facility. • Site Plans and building massing studies were also developed to test critical relationships with adjacent facilities, landscape features, the City’s Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center, infrastructure and overall conformance with the Campus Facilities Master Plan and Maryland Heritage Project.


50

• A Sector Plan for the Historic Campus (2006) was developed through a series of planning sessions with the College, HSMC, and St. Mary’s Trinity Parish in order to accommodate the long range plans for all three institutions. Provisions for the expansion of the parish hall, additional residential and administrative facilities for the College, and potential retail developments were incorporated into the Sector Plan by Muse Architects. Reduction of vehicle traffic in the historic precinct and parking improvements were also integrated into the plan.


51

SECTION 7: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

7.1 GENERAL SCOPE This facility program calls for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall on the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland (College). As a major component of the Maryland Heritage Project, the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will provide space for the College and Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) to advance social and anthropological studies, beginning with the original colony. The new facility will accommodate the academic programs of the College that relate most directly to the cultural and archaeological legacy of Maryland’s first capital at St. Mary’s City. In addition, the College will provide space within the building to house the research staff and collections of HSMC. Anne Arundel Hall is built over the actual colonial town; abutting HSMC’s existing Governor’s Field exhibit; thus this site serves as an ideal physical and programmatic interface between St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City. This project includes the replacement of the existing Anne Arundel Hall with a new 33,700 GSF facility. Included will be faculty offices, classrooms and laboratories for College programs in anthropology, archaeology and history. The department of international languages and cultures will also be located in the facility. Space allocated to HSMC’s archaeological research program includes offices, archaeology laboratories and storage space for archaeological artifacts. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall will enable the College and City to utilize this sector of campus more effectively by coordinating the development of this project with the City’s new exhibit and visitor center, the Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center. Site development features include a new courtyard, improved handicapped accessibility, relocated and expanded College parking, improved roadways and walkways, and landscaping in the land surrounding Anne Arundel Hall and the adjacent Governor’s Field exhibit. Concurrent with the development of the Anne Arundel Hall will be the design and construction of a pedestrian bridge over Maryland Route 5. The pedestrian bridge will be funded separately from federal sources. The Architect/Engineer team (A/E) will provide comprehensive architectural services for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall. The A/E team will include professional expertise in all subjects needed to successfully design the described facility. The A/E will use the descriptions in this program as a guide, and is required to fully investigate alternative design solutions for the functional requirements. The project is not a standard new classroom building. The unique characteristics of the Program requirements and the site combine to dictate a very specific kind of solution. The resultant project will remake the character of this sector of the College campus and the adjacent properties of the City. The unusual program will signify a place where history is interpreted, underscoring the importance of the Maryland Heritage Project. See Sections 10 and 11 for additional information on Design Criteria and Special Project Considerations.

7.3 SITE DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS The scope of the Anne Arundel Hall replacement project includes interrelated site improvements, landscape, parking, and utility modifications. As discussed in Section 5.4, the Anne Arundel Hall site provides unique opportunities to further the goals of the Campus Master Plan and the Maryland Heritage Project (see Drawing C-1, Appendix C). In order to take full advantage of the site, the project includes a number of specific site improvements that improve pedestrian circulation, safety, and accessibility. The land use strategy for this section of the campus integrates these objectives to create a redevelopment plan for the site that will enhance the overall exterior environment in the historic campus precinct. In addition, site development will be coordinated with the Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center that will share this site. Combined, the Anne Arundel Hall replacement and the Interpretive Center will vastly improve the overall use of the historic campus. Sector Plan (2006) Land use planning by the College, City, and St. Mary’s Trinity Parish resulted in the establishment of a Sector Plan to guide the redevelopment of the area of campus bounded by Route 5 and Route 584 (Old State House Road and Trinity Church Road). Muse Architects developed a number of options and refinements that has culminated in the current version of the Sector Plan. The Sector Plan is a long range plan that envisions future developments for all three entities and provides the planning context for the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall, the Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center, and the pedestrian bridge over Maryland Route 5. Site improvements identified in the Sector Plan will be implemented through a combination of projects funded from a variety of state, federal, and private sources. Specific site elements included in the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall project are identified on Drawing C-6 and described below. Key elements of the overall Sector Plan are described below and identified on drawings C-3 (Phase I Projects) and C-4 (Future Projects) in Appendix C:

Phase I Projects (Drawing C-3)

1. Replacement of Anne Arundel Hall: Construct a new 33,700 GSF academic and archaeological lab/storage building (this project).

2. Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center: Construct a new 15,500 GSF exhibit and visitor center. The Interpretive Center project includes 36 parking spaces immediately adjacent to the building

3. Route 5 Pedestrian Bridge: Construct a pedestrian bridge over Maryland Route 5. Existing grades on both sides of the road are elevated allowing the bridge to be connected to walkway systems without ramps and steps. The bridge will provide a convenient and safe means for the College community and City visitors to cross Route 5. Federal funds have been provided for this project.

4. Parking: As part of the Anne Arundel Hall Project, parking for the historic campus will be provided on College and City property adjacent to the Campus Center. The location of the new parking is consistent with the joint College and City transportation study that was completed in 2000. Funding permitting, up to 250 parking spaces will be developed at this location.


56

5. Intersection Improvement: The development of parking for the historic campus adjacent to the Campus Center provides an opportunity to reorganize the intersection of the Route 5, Route 584, and Mill Field Drive into a more coherent and safer traffic pattern.

6. Old State House Road Improvement: As part of the Anne Arundel Hall Project, resurface the Old State House Road portion of Route 584 and add brick sidewalks.

7. Stormwater Management: Most of the historic campus was developed prior to the creation of the Critical Areas and MDE stormwater regulations. Given the proximity to the St. Mary’s River, stormwater management strategies and structures that reflect best practices are a high priority for the Anne Arundel Hall project. Stormwater improvements should be designed in anticipation of future developments on the historic campus.

Potential Future Projects (Drawing C-4)

1. Route 5 Improvements: Modify Route 5 to change the character of the road from a State highway into a “town street.” This future SHA project will include sidewalks, street lights, improved crosswalks, etc.

2. Trinity Church Road Improvement: The goal for this project is to reduce vehicle traffic on the portion of Route 584 from Calvert Hall to Kent Hall and eliminate vehicle access from Route 5 adjacent to the River Center. Parking is reduced at Kent Hall and a circular drop off is provided near the entrance to the future educational center for Trinity Parish. The roadway is narrowed and straddled by brick walks on both side to give precedence to pedestrians.

3. Student Residences and/or Retail Shops: Reserve land in the historic precinct to allow future development of additional to support student residences and/or to establish a small “village” of shops aimed at improving the quality of life for students and visitors.

4. Historic City Development / Retail Shops: Cluster additional potential retail shops around Farthing’s Ordinary creating a small village green. The project relocates the parking area for Governor’s Field (85 cars and 10 buses).

5. College Development Office: Provides an administrative office building on Route 5 for the development office. Parking is separated from Route 5 by a landscaped median.

6. College Offices / Residential: Reserve land in the historic precinct for additional offices and/or student residence.

7. Trinity Church Parish Hall: Develops a new parish hall and kitchen at a location closer to the church building, roughly the same location of the existing rectory.

8. Trinity Educational Center: Provides administrative offices, conference rooms, and other facilities to support the educational and outreach functions of the parish. The complex also includes a new post office for St. Mary’s City which would be accessible from Route 5.


57

Site Planning Principles

Drawing C-5 graphically illustrates the site planning principles that will guide the design efforts for the Anne Arundel Hall replacement project and the Interpretive Center. Specific principles (keyed to Drawing C-5) are described below:

1. Anne Arundel and Maryland Heritage Interpretive Center integrated site plan: The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall and the new Interpretive Center should be designed to complement each other. The buildings should be arranged around an outdoor courtyard that creates an inviting space on the main pedestrian circulation path between the Calvert/Kent quad and the Campus Center. Building pass-throughs, loggias and/or arcades are building elements that are contemplated for engaging the central courtyard to this major campus pathway.

2. Scale: New buildings within the site should be of modest scale to be consistent with the Master Plan vision for creating an academic tidewater village. In order to manage the massing and scale of the replacement of Anne Arundel Hall, significant portions of the building – particularly archaeological labs and storage spaces – can be placed in a basement (with proper moisture protection). In addition, the Sector Plan is based on the assumption that the new Anne Arundel Hall and Interpretive Center would incorporate a mix of single story building sections with two story sections.

3. Axis Lines: The Sector Plan identifies a two key axis lines that provide organization for the site. These include:

a. State House Axis: The reconstructed State House on City property is a key structure for both the City and the College. Located on City property, this facility provides architectural context to the campus and is used extensively for meetings and events. Currently, the State House is not visually engaged within the core campus and City environs. An opportunity exists to organize the replacement Anne Arundel Hall and Interpretive Center around the axis between the State House and the crosswalk at Route 5, creating a prominent view of the State House as one passes through the courtyard between the two new buildings.

b. Middle Street: Middle Street was one of the major roads of the 17th century city and represented one arm of the baroque town plan. The lobby of the Interpretive Center is placed on the alignment of the road as is a passage through the new Anne Arundel Hall. From the Interpretive Center entrance, visitors will have a clear view of the historic town center at the southern end of the street. This organizational element will reinforce the original Town Lands and be a visual reminder to the campus community of the heritage of the site. In addition, a second floor porch, above the lobby, could be positioned on this axis to provide excellent views to the entire Town Lands.

4. Alignment to Calvert/Kent Quad: An easement for a new walkway through Trinity Church property is in place to allow the College to connect the Calvert/Kent Quad to the Anne Arundel Site. This walkway will greatly enhance the pedestrian system through the historic campus and strengthen visual connections between these otherwise separated nodes. The new Anne Arundel Hall should include a terminating element – such as an entrance, patio and/or pass-through – at the southeastern end of this new walkway to provide a visual target to pedestrians approaching from Calvert and Kent Halls.


58

5. Views from Route 5: The proposed siting for the reconstruction of Anne Arundel Hall and the Interpretive Center building provides an opportunity to enhance the sense of arrival at St. Mary’s City. Given that the site for these buildings is elevated above Route 5, balance should be sought in creating facilities that are prominently displayed while still maintaining modest overall scale.

6. Archaeology: An archaeological survey has been completed at the site and has identified locations that contain archaeological resources. The siting of the buildings should avoid, to the extent possible, impacts to these archaeological sites.

7. Preserve land for future development: Land must be preserved within the Sector to allow future development of student residences and/or a small retail shops.

8. Pedestrian Bridge: The central Courtyard should extend towards Route 5 at an elevation to allow for the installation of a pedestrian bridge across Route 5.

Specific Site Scope Descriptions Specific site improvements included in the Anne Arundel Hall replacement project are described below. Refer to the following keynote numbers on the Site Development Plan (Drawing C-6) in Appendix C:

AA-1. Central Courtyard: This courtyard will include walkways and lawn to create a pleasant central outdoor room along the main pedestrian pathway through the historic campus. The new Anne Arundel Hall and Interpretive Center will be organized around this space and engage it with entrances, seating areas and pathways. A water feature should be considered.

AA-2. State House Walk and West Lawn: As described in Site Planning Principle #3a above, a new walkway will provide a pedestrian and visual connection between the Central Court Yard and the State house.

The new walk will be integrated into the development of a new lawn on the west side of the new Anne Arundel building, facing the State House. A specially paved crossing of Route 584 (State House Road) will provide a safe and visually connected relationship to the Governor’s Field parking lot. Changes in paving materials and surface texture alert drivers to the pedestrian crosswalk, aid direction-finding for the visitor, and prevent parking on the path as it enters the lot.

AA-3. Walk and Utility Easement through Trinity Church: As described in Site Planning principle #4 above, the College maintains an easement through Trinity Church property to allow it to connect pathways between the Calvert/Kent quad and the remainder of the historic campus precinct. This project includes the construction of the walkway within this easement. Also included is the connection of water, sewer, electrical and telecommunication infrastructure to be located under the walkway within the easement and connected to existing infrastructure on each side of church property.

AA-4. NW Entrance Court: A new brick paved courtyard is anticipated at this location that will serve as an entrance court to the building and will provide a transition through the building into the Central Courtyard. In addition, the design must address the


59

relocation of an award-winning herb garden currently existing adjacent to that space. The herb garden may not be moved out of this area; rather it must be part of the entrance court design.

AA-5. Route 5 Transition (plaza, abutment, stairs, etc.): The site for the new Anne Arundel Hall and the Interpretive Center is elevated substantially above Route 5. Currently, an awkward handicapped ramp and set of stairs provide pedestrian access from the crosswalk on Route 5 up to the existing Anne Arundel Hall. The redevelopment of the site will allow this transition to be improved to create a stronger connection between the street and the campus.

As discussed in Site Planning Principle #8 above, the Sector Plan includes the construction of a pedestrian bridge across Route 5. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall includes the construction of the bridge abutment as an element of the central courtyard so that the bridge is consistent and compatible with the other site improvements. This abutment should be integrated as an extension of the Central Courtyard.

To provide access from the Central Courtyard to the street level at Route 5, this project also includes new stairs. The location of the stairs must be coordinated with the planning for the pedestrian bridge.

AA-6. Handicapped Access and Bike Pathways: A new handicapped accessible path will be provided to transition from the lower grades at the Route 5 crossing up to the higher grades at the building sites. Bike paths must also be integrated with this pathway system.

AA-7. Service Drive: The archaeology labs in Anne Arundel Hall require occasional delivery of artifacts excavated during archaeological field work. A service road is required to allow vehicles to access the service entrance of the building. The road should be designed to minimize its visual intrusion to the site. Consideration should be given to using concrete ring pavers similar to those used in the Governor’s Field Parking Lot.

AA-8. Service Court: Related to #AA-7 above, a service court with a grade level dock is required at the service entrance to Anne Arundel Hall. This service area will also accommodate any outdoor ground mounted service gear such as transformers, generators and mechanical equipment (if not mounted and screened on the roof). Screen walls and/or landscaping are to be provided to hide these elements from view.

AA-9. Restoration of the Town Spring: The town spring of the original capital city still flows from the earth on the southwest side of MD Route 5, seen only as a constant wet spot flowing across the road. The town spring literally and figuratively signifies the continuity of human habitation over 400 years on this site (and this only by Europeans and their descendents). From a present day perspective, the site of the spring is still a meaningful and practical spot. The Anne Arundel project includes the restoration of the spring. The flowing spring will be captured in a masonry basin, to drain through a pipe beneath MD 5. The outlet of that conduit will be in an existing drainage channel paralleled by a path, leading to St. John’s pond.


60

AA-10. Parking: The two existing parking lots adjacent to Anne Arundel Hall and the lot adjacent to Margaret Brent Hall will be demolished and replaced with a new lot adjacent to the Campus Center on College and City property.

Demolition Requirements The redevelopment plan for this sector of campus requires the demolition of Anne Arundel Hall, Margaret Brent Hall and three small parking lots as illustrated in Drawing C-2 in Appendix C. Utilities The project includes connection of the new building to existing campus utilities. Utility modifications should also be coordinated with the infrastructure needs of the new Interpretive Center. In addition to providing necessary tie-ins to existing infrastructure, the project includes relocation of electrical, water and sanitary into an easement through Church property. This work will complete those portions of the infrastructure improvements deferred in 1998 as part of the Kent Hall Renovation project. See Appendix C for plans of existing and proposed utility modifications.


61

SECTION 8: FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS 8.1 GENERAL SPACE DESCRIPTION The building will house two major program groups, consisting of archival storage facilities, laboratories, and offices for the research department of Historic St. Mary’s City, and College classrooms, laboratories, and offices for the departments of anthropology, international languages and cultures and some faculty drawn from history and the social sciences. These two elements can be broken down as follows: Historic St. Mary’s City Space for Historic St. Mary’s City includes state-of-the-art; museum-quality Artifact Collection Curation and storage facilities, coupled with similar quality Archaeology Research and Processing labs. These functions involve linear processes and strictly controlled environments, which put demands a certain arrangement of the spaces with respect to each other, and within the building. Supporting those functions are Reference facilities consisting of a Reference Library and Record and Archive Storage, and Office and Support spaces including individual Offices, a Conference room, and open plan Office Support space. Archaeology Research and Processing includes an Artifact Wash and Prep Lab to receive artifacts from the field, an Archaeological Conservation Lab to further treat and stabilize artifacts, an Artifact Analysis Workroom to study and identify artifacts, and a Documentation Workrooom to record primary artifact and archaeological site data. These functions require adjacencies described below. Artifact Collection Curation includes Archaeological Collection Storage, housing the bulk of the collection in a highly controlled, limited access environment. Within that sphere of control are Dry Storage and Organic Storage, with their own particular environmental conditions, and Artifact Study Collection Storage where a representative portion of the collection, under specifically modified environmental conditions, is available for frequent access. These functions are closely related and put similar demands on building systems. Reference Facilities include a Record and Archive Storage space with very restricted access and a highly controlled environment, as this space will house original historical documents and original records, and a Reference Library for researchers and students, both resident and visiting. Archive Storage has requirements similar to Artifact Collection Curation, and could be included in that related group. Offices and Support includes seven individual Offices and one Shared Office for HSMC archaeologists and researchers, and open plan Office Support/Copy/Mail facilities. The offices should be accessible to any visitor.


62

St. Mary’s College of Maryland Academic programs that will occupy the building include the departments of international languages and cultures, anthropology, and faculty from history and the social sciences who focus on the historic and cultural history of St. Mary’s City. The department of international languages and cultures require faculty offices, a language laboratory, student project space, and a seminar room. Program spaces for anthropology, history, the Center for the Study of Democracy, and other faculty include class and open laboratories, faculty offices and support, and classrooms. These form functional groupings as follows: Class Laboratories include an Anthropology Instructional Lab, and an Anthropology Lab Support to serve the instructional lab. A dedicated Language Laboratory is included for international languages and cultures for instructional use. Open Laboratories are provided for anthropology and international languages and cultures primarily in support of St. Mary’s Projects (SMP). The Student Project Room for anthropology is for students working on projects that do not require “wet lab” facilities. The Student Project Room for international languages and cultures provides computer and multi-media resources for studies completing SMP’s. There are five Classrooms, for general instruction, augmented, in varying degrees, by computer operated audio-visual devices. Included are four general Classrooms and one general Seminar Room. These classrooms can function independently of each other. Department Seminar Rooms are included for both international languages and cultures and anthropology. These seminar rooms are designed to be reflective of the departments’ faculty interests and teaching methods. Offices and Support includes eight individual Offices for anthropology, history, and the social sciences. Two Offices are included for the Center for the Study of Democracy. Eleven individual Offices and one Shared Office are included for international languages and cultures. Office Support/Copy/Mail facilities will support all of the occupants of the building. For common use by both user groups, but listed in Table 7.1 under St. Mary’s College, is the Blackistone Conference/Exhibit space. The Blackistone Conference/Exhibit Room is for exhibits and informal meetings. Furnishings in this room are funded by, and dedicated to the memory of, the Blackistone family. The replacement of Anne Arundel Hall includes a new Blackistone Room, which should be approximately 50% larger than the current room, amenities, and elegance of décor. Such a replacement space shall be dedicated to the present Blackistone Room name, with suitable signage to that effect.


63

8.2 ADJACENCY REQUIREMENTS: HISTORIC ST. MARY’S CITY Space adjacencies are shown graphically in Appendix F and are described below: Archaeology Research and Processing, and Artifact Collection Curation, make the greatest demands of space and building systems, and have the strictest adjacency needs: Artifact Collection Curation is the largest single component of the Program, and it requires the greatest degree of access and environmental control. It is primary to the success of the mission of HSMC. It is envisioned that this specialized facility will be located within the basement of the new building. Collections Storage also forms the physical core of the curation functions. The process by which a recently acquired artifact moves through the building terminates at Collections Storage, after preparing, conserving, and analysis, however artifacts periodically leave from and return to Storage for exhibit, additional conservation, and further analysis. The sub-components of Collections Storage, Dry and Organic Storage, as well as the Study Collection, all require the same strict environmental and access controls, thus requiring close adjacencies. Record and Archive Storage, while not listed as a component of artifact storage, requires similar controls, and does not require frequent access. Therefore it could be adjacent to or within Artifact Collection Curation. Typical for all these spaces is the requirement that they not open into unclimatized spaces, to prevent sudden loss of environmental stability. Another characteristic strongly suggesting the immediate adjacency of these functions is structural, as Artifact Storage imposes a heavy-duty floor load. Archaeology Research and Processing demands linear materials handling processes that have certain very specific adjacency requirements: Artifacts are received from the field in the Artifact Wash and Preparation Laboratory, which includes a separate enclosure for initial cleaning, space and facilities for more careful final cleaning, and racks/shelves for drying and temporary storage. A unisex shower and changing room is desirable in this area. Often this work is done by students and volunteers, and is not to be confused with cleaning done by conservators in the restricted Conservation Laboratory. From Wash and Preparation, artifacts proceed to the Artifact Conservation Laboratory for final cleaning, conservation, and stabilization. Some artifacts may bypass this step, depending on their condition. After conservation, an artifact is ready for analysis and so proceeds to the Artifact Analysis Workroom for identification and further study. All data regarding artifacts is recorded in the Documentation Workroom. This workroom should be adjacent to the Analysis Workroom, for convenience, immediacy, and to limit the need to move artifacts. The Reference Library, sized to accommodate 3000 volumes, will be open to any visitor, however, access will be controlled, and a staff member who functions as a building receptionist will monitor the room. It is not a lending library.


64

8.3 ADJACENCY REQUIREMENTS: ST. MARY’S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND Space adjacencies are shown graphically in Appendix F and are described below: Class Laboratories for anthropology include: an Anthropology Lab Support serving the Anthropology (student) Class Lab and a Student Project Room. Anthropology Laboratories must be adjacent to the Support space that serves them. A multipurpose classroom, an instructional space with multiple presentation devices, is desirable to have adjacent to a class laboratory, in order to view presentations through windows into the laboratory. The Student Project Room is for honors projects not requiring wet lab type facilities, and not required to be adjacent to other labs. It is desirable for the Student Project Room to be adjacent to Faculty Offices, to promote mentoring. Laboratories for international languages and cultures are a language laboratory for instructional use and a Student Project Room. These rooms should be adjacent to one another. Both rooms are computer intensive facilities. Classrooms constitute most of the assembly spaces and will be used by students in various disciplines, thus are most importantly adjacent to public circulation and public facilities such as toilet rooms. Offices and Support, accessible to any student, researcher, or visitor, should be convenient to public circulation. Faculty members prefer to be located close to the student project rooms. It is also desirable to group faculty offices by departments and to locate Department Seminar Rooms adjacent to department faculty offices.


65

8.4 ADJACENCY REQUIREMENTS: COMMON USE SPACES The Blackistone Meeting Room presently exists in Anne Arundel Hall, and was funded by and dedicated to the memory of the Blackistone family. It is used for exhibits and informal meeting. As such, it should be adjacent to public circulation, and adjacent to a primary building entrance. In the new facility the room will be about 50% larger. The name and identity of the room must be maintained. Utility Rooms, including Toilet Rooms, serving both program user groups, and related to overall building systems, should be located to best serve their use, for good maintenance access, and with regard for sensitive artifact storage issues. A unisex shower and changing room within the Artifact Receiving area is desirable. Spaces requiring plumbing should be constructed to control plumbing leaks, to prevent damage to Archaeological Collections. Exhibit Spaces should be provided for in the circulation spaces to communicate the mission of the facility and to contribute to the atmosphere of public spaces. This concept is supportive of the idea of The Maryland Heritage Project, to strengthen the continuum of history at St. Mary’s City and College. Public Circulation supports the functional relationships. Views into HSMC Artifact Analysis and Study Collection spaces from Public Circulation are desired to help inform the visitor about the function of the building.

10.2 BUILDING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL All building systems shall be evaluated for energy conservation and the criteria of the LEED rating system and shall be designed according to the latest standards. The building is a general office/classroom/dry laboratory building. Special climate controls are required in some locations such as curation and archives. In addition museum quality environmental controls are needed in all City spaces within Anne Arundel Hall.

10.2.1 All College spaces in Anne Arundel Hall, unless otherwise indicated on individual room data sheets, will comply with the following requirements:

• Compliance with Maryland DGS ‘Procedures for Energy

Conservation’. • 69-72F; 50% relative humidity +/- 10%. • Individual room controls. • Integration and compliance with St. Mary’s College existing central

energy control system. 10.2.3 All City spaces in Anne Arundel Hall, unless otherwise indicated on

individual room data sheets, will comply with the special museum quality, temperature, humidity, and pest control environment as noted in 10.2.9


10.2.4 Building Automation Systems will communicate with an existing

Windows based workstation via the existing campus Ethernet backbone. Existing central reporting workstations will be programmed to receive any alarms generated from the Environmental Control and Building Automation System. The extent of automation will be dependent on the selection of the HVAC systems used in the facility's design. All HVAC control will be via computerized Direct Digital

Control (DDC) equipment designed specifically for HVAC operation. Only previously approved EMCS/DDC vendors will be allowed to participate. Systems utilize BACNet protocol.

10.2.3 A standard of Noise Criteria (NC) shall not to exceed NC 35 for all

office, classroom and laboratory areas. Follow the normal ASHRAE criteria, not the budgetary criteria listed in ASHRAE, for required sound levels except for spaces requiring special sound attenuation.

standards for Illumination Levels" in Procedures for Implementation of Energy Conservation, published by the Maryland Department of General Services. Evaluate the use of Department of Energy day lighting strategies for classrooms in educational facilities where these are applicable. Applicability can be determined by use of DOE's ADELINE software modeling program. Refer to minimum daylight factor in LEED Green Building Rating System.

10.2.6 Typical lighting for College spaces shall be fluorescent, and energy

efficient fixtures shall be used. Typical lighting for City spaces shall utilize UV filtering.

10.2.7 Design to exceed building energy efficiency performance ASHRAE

90/IESNA 90.1- latest version.

10.2.8 Utilize base building HVAC and refrigeration systems that use non-ozone damaging liquids. Refer to LEED Reference Guide for qualifying systems.

10.2.9 Special HVAC Considerations for Archaeological labs, processing

rooms and artifact storage facilities: A primary function of the renovated building is the storage of archaeological artifacts. The environment in which artifacts are stored dictates the length of time they will survive. Changes in temperature and humidity can directly cause artifact damage, as well as creating conditions favoring elements harmful and deleterious


to artifacts, such as pests, fungus, and bacteria. Dust and gaseous contamination can stain, discolor, and cause chemical reactions in sensitive artifacts. An HVAC system is required that will provide a stable environment for humidity and temperature, and a minimum of dust and gaseous contaminants.

Temperature in the majority of the building is to be kept at a stable temperature of 68 - 72°F year-round. In addition, a large portion of the building will require humidity levels of 50%RH plus or minus 5%RH. In storage facilities, this level is planned to be slowly changed, at a rate of 2% per month, to 40%RH in winter. Wall and glazing system design must be considered as part of the system that maintains these standards while minimizing chances for interior condensation. Dehumidification by desiccant or refrigerant is a design consideration of the A/E team in conjunction with the state. Humidifying equipment is recommended to be ambient evaporative humidifier, as opposed to a heated atomizing humidifier. Dust and particulates are to be controlled with filtration, meeting an efficiency standard of approximately 85%. Do not specify electrostatic precipitators, as the charging of air molecules creates undesirable gasses and electrically created ionization. A two-filter system is preferred, in order to pre-filter outside air prior to mixing with recycled air and passing through a second filter. Gaseous contaminants come from the off-gassing of artifacts, building materials, furnishings, and outside contaminants. Particularly harmful are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. These should be controlled with activated carbon filters in the HVAC system, and the building should have a positive pressure. Environmental monitoring of artifact storage spaces is integral to the function of the facility. Humidity and temperature sensors, connected to a central control panel equipped with recording capabilities, is required. The central control panel should monitor, display, and control all environmental zones. Recording devices should indicate seasonal and diurnal fluctuations in conditions. Fume Hoods and flexible trunk-type exhaust extractors will be required in some spaces, to remove odors and noxious fumes. These rooms should be negatively pressured. Some work to artifacts will occur in fume hoods, and the temperature and humidity levels in the hood must be strictly maintained. Supply air to these hoods must be conditioned by either the HVAC system. Care should be taken to prevent mixture and contamination or air from different hoods. Provide condensation traps and other design features in hoods and ducts to prevent the mixture of


condensation and chemicals. Use a fume duct exhaust system that is appropriate to the chemicals used in the hood. See also summary of HVAC strategies in Appendix H.

existing lots) • Landscaping – to include planting and turf

10.16 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

Anne Arundel Hall will contain objects of great value to Archaeologists, Historians, Researchers, Faculty of various disciplines, and students. These are irreplaceable objects of cultural value, reflecting not only the history of the City, but the efforts of many years of archaeological research. The maintenance and security of the collection has future implications yet to be identified. For these reasons the plan of the building should discourage physical access to sensitive areas, to limit opportunities for a visitor to remove an object, knowingly or not. Common burglars will have no interest in artifacts, but there is a risk that casual visitation and / or use by students or visiting researchers may cause the removal of objects for convenient use elsewhere, or as souvenirs. See Appendix F for a Security Zone Diagram, illustrating the zones of increasing security.

10.17 SPECIAL MATERIALS HANDLING


A number of potentially toxic and hazardous chemicals may be used in the facility, in relatively minor quantities. (Refer to a list of potential chemicals in Appendix H.) To insure against potential hazards while handling toxic/hazardous materials, facilities must meet or exceed Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSHA) regulations, Federal OSHA laboratory guidelines, and any other applicable health and safety regulations. Aspects of the facility design that might be affected by chemical hygiene regulations should be fully reviewed by proper authorities, prior to the bidding phase.

Design considerations should include collection and disposal of residual chemical wastes generated by artifact conservation and research processes. No toxic or hazardous waste will be disposed of through the sanitary sewer, sink drains, or floor drains. Collection and disposal methods must meet or exceed requirements of regulating authorities. Residual toxic/hazardous waste will be placed by users in proper containers, and disposed of by a disposal company licensed to handle and dispose of such wastes.

10.18 OTHER REQUIREMENTS 10.18.1 Dedication Plaque and Cornerstone - The A/E shall include in the design

provisions for installation of a campus standard dedicatory plaque and a cornerstone.

10.18.2 Room numbers to be included in design development to conform with

10.18.4 Door locking systems to be compatible with the campus standard “Best” system.

10.18.5 Provisions for exhibit displays throughout the building that will convey

the heritage of the College and the work and interests of academic departments.

10.18.6 Graphics and Signage - All graphics and signage to be compatible and

consistent with existing college graphics and signage. At minimum, the following shall be included: • Exterior sign naming building and departments accommodated • Building directory in main lobby • Room numbers on each room


SECTION 11: SPECIAL PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS This section of the facility program provides information on A/E services that either clarifies, or is in addition to, base services stipulated in the A/E General Conditions. 11.1 HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SITE St. Mary’s College partially occupies and is contiguous with Maryland’s foremost historical resource -- the original settlement and the capital of the Maryland colony at St. Mary’s City. Religious tolerance, the demand for women suffrage, and integration of multi-racial and ethnic groups into the political and social life of the community all have strong roots in the founding and development of St. Mary’s City. The College campus, which contains many archaeological sites, is located in a National Historic Landmark District. Accordingly, the identification, documentation, and protection of archaeological resources is a prime objective of all campus projects. Indeed, the purpose of this project is to enhance the ability of the College, now allied with the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission, to meet this commitment. Anne Arundel Hall is within an area found to have very high resource density. Because of the potential for subsurface features, upper soil deposits will be removed so that archeologists can identify, document, and excavate preserved features before construction. Consultation will be required during design with the Maryland Historic Trust and the Historic St. Mary’s City to ensure that appropriate consideration is given to treatment of the site. 11.2 ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SITE The St. Mary's College campus falls within the protected Chesapeake Bay Critical Area. The College maintains a strong commitment to the conservation, protection, and enhancement of its natural environment. In its capital projects, the College seeks to achieve optimum conservation solutions that may exceed the regulatory requirements of the Critical Areas Commission and the Department of the Environment. The A/E will be required to develop alternate strategies for dealing with environmental conservation. Alternative strategies for managing storm water qualitatively and quantitatively shall be presented to the College in Schematic Design and refined at the Design Development phase. Each alternative shall include preliminary calculations for reduction of pollutant loading and other quantitative measures. Cost estimates should also be provided for each alternative. The College has completed a master plan for management of storm water on campus. The design team for this project will be expected to coordinate their work with the framework and principle provided in the master plan. The A/E will prepare and submit required documents to the Critical Areas Commission and Maryland Department of the Environment no later than at the completion of the 50% CD review meeting with the


College. Provide draft copies of all documents to the College for review prior to submitting to the appropriate agency. In addition to water quality management, the project is subject to aforestation requirements. Because DNR aforestation regulations do not apply within the Critical Areas, the Critical Areas Commission and the College have agreed to apply a 15% planting requirement on each project. Specific information on these requirements will be provided during design. 11.3 MASTER PLANNING The St. Mary’s College of Maryland 1988 Master Plan – prepared by Cooper, Robertson & Partners provides architectural and landscaping guidelines to shape future development of the campus. These guidelines shall be considered a part of this facility program. The A/E shall familiarize itself with the Master Plan guidelines and provide design solutions consistent with the principles established therein, unless alternative approaches are identified by the A/E and approved by the College. The Campus Master Plan was updated in 1999 by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and Michael Vergason Landscape Architects. The 1999 plan was amended in 2000 to incorporate the Maryland Heritage Project. During schematic design, the A/E shall participate in a peer review meeting with the College Master Plan Team of Peter Bohlin and Michael Vergason. The purpose is to review the proposed architectural and siting concepts and discuss how the proposed design responds to the goals and principles of the College Master Plan. In the event that either Bohlin Cywinski Jackson or Michael Vergason Landscape Architects is selected by the College for this project, the College will identify an alternative architect to conduct the peer review. 11.4 ARCHITECTURAL CONSIDERATIONS The 1988 Master Plan identified the concept of an Academic Tidewater Village as a unifying principle of the campus environs. Anne Arundel Hall, while not conforming to the stylistic imagery of this concept, nonetheless sits comfortably in this context by means of its similar bulk and materials to the oldest college buildings, Calvert and Kent Halls. Reconstruction of Anne Arundel Hall offers an opportunity to create a new facility that more nearly reflects the architectural goals of the campus and to carry out other concepts of the Master Plan, most notably the desire for “tightly-knit village precincts with mature trees and shady lanes and paths. A walking precinct…with a sense of permanence, history, and pleasantness.” The design of the project should consider the goals of the Master Plan and the environs of Anne Arundel Hall, as well as the stylistic gestures of the building itself. A Sector Plan has been completed to guide the site development and provide a framework for the design of the building. See also Section 7.3 - Sector Plan Principles for additional information.


Anne Arundel Hall (existing and future) occupies an important spot in the landscape, in the context of the City and the campus. The relative prominence created by grading the 1934 Route 5 by-pass puts the building in a position to be seen favorably when approaching on the main pedestrian path from the north. In the context of the Master Plan, the building assumes the role of an important node on the path, and so should be a distinct architectural “sign” indicating that importance. Visible rooftop mechanical system equipment is not permitted. Use of rooftops for this purpose is permitted, indeed it is probably necessary, so the enclosure or screening of equipment must be carefully considered as a significant part of the architectural design. Rooftop enclosures or screens must be considered very early in the design process, and considered as important as any other addition to the building. The same degree of consideration should be extended to other rooftop elements, such as exhaust stacks for fume hoods, or louvers for fresh air intake. 11.5 SITE IMPROVEMENTS The College places a high priority on the development of quality site design. Anne Arundel Hall presents prime opportunities to build upon the setting of its site and to develop literal and figural connections to existing circulation systems and the to the surrounding historic context. The goals and principles established in the Master Plan shall guide the site development of this project. Landscape design and site improvement shall be included in Schematic Design and Design Development submissions, designed according to descriptions in Section 7.3. Scope of the landscape work shall include, but is not necessarily limited to, the design of walks, patios, exterior lighting, site walls, grading, landscaping, screening of mechanical and electrical equipment, and storm water management devices. In general, the landscape architect shall lead the design of all site improvements. The civil engineer shall provide the necessary documentation. Every effort shall be made to recognize and develop responsibly the potential of the site area. The A/E shall recognize that the College expects site design and documentation to be developed 11.6 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN The Governor signed the Executive Order on Green Buildings and Energy Efficient on March 13, 2001. This executive order states that “the State shall develop a High Efficiency Green Buildings Program committed to utilizing energy efficient and environmentally responsible approaches in the design, construction, operations, maintenance and deconstruction of all new and, to the extent possible, existing State owned and leased facilities.” The College participated in a pilot program for the construction of the State’s first state-funded LEED silver project, Goodpaster Hall. Subsequent to the 2001 Executive Order, the State has not been funding premium costs for the construction of high performance buildings. The Trustees of the College, however, are deeply committed to sustainable design and have funded the additional design costs associated with a LEED silver facility. The College will be requesting state


funding for the premium construction costs for attaining a LEED silver rating for Anne Arundel Hall. This Project will be developed following guidelines established by the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. This Project shall be designed and constructed to achieve a minimum LEED system rating of “LEED Silver.” The A/E team shall include a Green Building Coordinator for the Project. The coordinator may be a member of the prime A/E firm or a consulting individual or firm licensed to practice architecture or engineering in the State of Maryland. The Green Building Coordinator shall be responsible for facilitating and coordinating all related Green Building activities and shall have either attained LEED accreditation or performed previous LEED System certifications to adequately demonstrate the knowledge necessary to perform the work necessary to obtain a LEED Certification. Prior to the start of schematic design, the A/E’s Green Building Coordinator shall conduct a Green Building charrette with all applicable consultant team members and the College to establish the direction and scope of Green Building principles, including construction and maintenance procedures, to be employed in this Project to attain the designated LEED System goal. These principles shall be recorded in writing as a “Green Building Plan” (GBP). The Green Building Plan shall be updated and submitted for review at each design phase to track any changes, modifications or additions. The GBP shall include two sections. The first section shall follow the format of the LEED Green Building Rating System. The second section shall include the Life Cycle Cost Analysis described below. The A/E shall develop and provide a “Building Maintenance Manual” outlining maintenance procedures and schedules for all materials and systems that contribute to the LEED rating. The manual shall be submitted at the 50% CD phase for review and at the 100% CD submission. The A/E shall include as a part of all Green Building Plan submissions, a Life Cycle Cost Analysis which describes costs, both adds and deducts, which are attributed to achieving the designated LEED rating as well as future savings attributed to the use of these materials and systems. For example, identify the additional cost attributed to using more expensive efficient glazing and identify the savings attributed to smaller HVAC units and energy costs made possible by using the more efficient glazing. Identify projected savings in energy usage and costs to be realized due to this strategy. Future repair, maintenance and replacement costs shall be included as well. The A/E shall identify and bring to the attention of the College in writing any conflicts between Green Building requirements and other requirements of the Project. Cost estimates submitted during design shall separate labor and materials to facilitate evaluation of LEED criteria.



The A/E’s Green Building Coordinator shall develop and submit all documentation necessary to the United States Green Building Council’s LEED Program for certification of the project for the designated LEED rating. Typically, the project shall be registered with LEED at the start of design. The final LEED certification is submitted after completion of construction. The cost of registering the Project with LEED shall be included in the A/E’s price proposal. 11.7 EXHIBITS The College is intent on bringing greater attention to the people and the events that have shaped its history and contributed to the legacy of the College and St. Mary’s City. To that end, the College will retain an exhibit designer to design specific exhibits for Anne Arundel Hall that highlight the origin and history of the College as a living monument to Maryland’s founding and it first capital. The exhibit designer will also work with the academic departments in Anne Arundel Hall to display the work and interests of the faculty. The A/E will work closely with the exhibit designer to provide physical spaces that contribute to the successful display of these exhibits.

APPENDIX A

The Maryland Heritage Project

REDEFINING LEGACIES: THE MARYLAND HERITAGE PROJECT

The past remains integral to us all, individually and collectively. We must concede the ancients their place. . . [but] their place is not simply back there, in a separate and foreign country, it is assimilated in ourselves, and resurrected into an ever-changing present. David Lowenthal, The Past is a Foreign Country

St. Mary's College of Maryland Historic St. Mary's City

Background St. Mary ’s College of Maryland was founded in 1840 on the site of Maryland’s

first capital and the nation’s third oldest colonial settlement. Created as a living monument to Maryland’s colonial forebears, it exists to commemorate the truth of David Lowenthal’s words. Maryland’s historic past is “not simply back there,” as if lodged in a distant country separate from our own. Rather, the past is alive in ourselves—in the totality of those attitudes, ideals, and practices which comprise our present.

It was along this bountiful stretch of river that America first crafted and tested ideals that would be fundamental to American democracy. Lord Baltimore’s 1634 colony is synonymous with unprecedented experiments in interracial and interdenominational toleration and cooperation. Early Marylanders forged creative political alliances with the native Yoacomaco who inhabited the riverbanks. Marylanders were the first to practice the separation of church and state, and the first to pass a law requiring religious toleration. It was here, in 1642, that Mathias d’Sousa took a seat as America’s first legislator of African descent. And it was here in 1648, at the site known as St. John’s, that Margaret Brent appeared before the General Assembly to request seat “for her selfe and voyce allso . . . as his Lordships [Governor Calvert] Attorney.” Her bold, if unsuccessful, demand came fully two hundred years before Seneca Falls and the American women’s suffrage movement.

In the centuries that have followed, Maryland’s seventeenth-century legacy has assumed increasing significance, as historian Frederick Fausz pointed out: “Increasingly, scholars and the general public have realized that the principle of toleration, extended beyond religious disputes to include all types of human rights, is as essential—and as controversial in our [present] world as it ever was.”

Four hundred years after the founding of our colonial roots, and 150 years after its designation as Maryland’s monument school, St. Mary’s College and its partner, Historic St. Mary’s City, are in a unique position to realize the full implications of their inheritance. The catalyst was Governor Glendening’s Task Force on the Affiliation of St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City, which in 1997 crafted an alliance between the College and the City that was subsequently endorsed enthusiastically by

1

Governor Glendening and then by the Maryland legislature. The College and the City now recognize their mutual role as stewards of Maryland’s historic legacy and are prepared to work in partnership to make it accessible to others.

Getting to this point has not been without its difficulties. The resurrection of the historic St. Mary’s City lands began less than 40 years ago at a time when a floundering St. Mary’s College was attempting to clarify its purpose. As the City has succeeded in recreating the 17th-century city, the College has succeeded in revitalizing its mission, and in the process both have built national reputations despite their small size and modest investments. These have been both exhilarating and stubborn enterprises with personalities no less so. And the two institutions have found at long last the mutual respect and interaction that will henceforth considerably bolster both entities. We are on the verge of great things. The Maryland Heritage Project

Marking this millennial year, the College and the City propose to launch the Maryland Heritage Project. The Heritage Project will provide in perpetuity for the preservation of Maryland’s most historic lands, for the facilities that will preserve and improve them as heritage sites, and for the programs that will allow for multi-layered interpretation to diverse audiences. The Maryland Heritage Project will be inaugurated through three related initiatives: 1) The Foundations of Democracy; 2) Maryland’s Cultural Legacy; and 3) Maryland’s Colonial Ways. Each of these initiatives will involve building on or renovating historic sites, and each will establish and expand programs for students as diverse as fourth graders studying Maryland history as well as collegiate and adult populations. The interactive campus and recreated seventeenth-century town lands will finally offer definition to the physical boundaries so that St. Mary’s City of Maryland can rightfully claim its proper historic significance alongside such important colonial centers as Plymouth Plantation and Jamestown. The Foundations of Democracy proposes to include the reconstruction and interpretation of the St. John’s Site, the location of the first meetings of the Maryland Assembly, and the renovation of Calvert Hall, the College’s first permanent structure, to include the Center for the Interpretation of Democracy. Maryland’s Cultural Legacy entails renovations to the College’s Anne Arundel Hall for activities to advance the affiliation, and the building of a new facility to accommodate the College’s relocated academic and administrative offices located currently in Calvert Hall and Anne Arundel Hall. The SlackWater project, an interdisciplinary oral history project on Southern Maryland’s diverse cultural history, is an example of an academic initiative that can flourish within the Cultural Legacy initiative. The third volume of SlackWater documents the regions’ tobacco culture of the twentieth-century and complements the living history of the Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation, which will, in turn, gain relevance in its new context. Maryland’s Colonial Ways will center on the construction of a new complex of museum exhibit galleries in which the artifacts and archival materials of the past can be presented to the public. Again, to assure contemporary relevance, the Maryland

Heritage Craft Center, modeled after the Frog Hollow Craft Centers in Vermont and featuring the work of Maryland artists and artisans, will be established to carry forward the practice of historic craft traditions. Heritage in the Wider Context

As this proposal makes clear, the recent affiliation between St. Mary’s College and Historic St. Mary’s City allows us to showcase our seventeenth-century roots as a complex, living legacy. However, the College is in a unique position to extend the concept of heritage even more broadly, to embrace not only its cultural resources but also its natural ones. The College’s emphasis on the full range of the liberal arts, and its ongoing partnerships with the Academy of Natural Sciences Estuarine Center, Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum, Calvert Marine Museum, and the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, allow us to situate our historic legacy within its dynamic and complex natural environment: the matrix of the natural world that acts upon and, in turn, is acted upon by humans. Such ongoing initiatives, for example, as the St. Mary’s River Project housed in the department of biology, allow us to monitor historic changes in the water quality and biota of the living landscape, and to correlate these with both historic and recent changes in land use. In other words, heritage implies a three-fold mission: the conservation of both natural and cultural resources; the commitment to research and interpretation; and the stimulation of public dialogue in a multiplicity of forms.

The St. Mary’s peninsula is a place where past and present lie next to each other in complex association, where the St. Mary’s River cuts away the cliffs at Chancellor’s Point to expose 20-million-year-old sediments, where human history lies compacted into a few feet of earth on the cliffs above, where the rains wash out the past: Flemish cream pans from the 1600s; jasper, chert, and quartzite projectile points; Rosehead nails, a bone needle case and silver thimble with the initials LF stamped on it; an 1812 artillery button; a woman’s hair clip from the nineteenth century. Here the earth yields up memory in things and in the faint demarcations of historic town lands; in the overlay of roads, barns, and dwellings; in the shape and function of a handcrafted skiff or a pound net driven into the river bottom; in the earth itself—in its waters, plants, and creatures. The past is taken up and assimilated into ourselves, in the movements and migrations of our population, in our political struggles, in our democratic values, ideals, and practices. The Maryland Heritage Project is an opportunity to see things integrally, to see them whole. Like Janus, it offers an enduring impression of our past and gives purposeful and optimistic intent to our future.
