Marymount invites you to a community meeting on Tuesday, February 9. Representatives from the University and Ayers Saint Gross will present information on the campus master planning process that is now underway. The meeting will be held in the Reinsch Library Auditorium, beginning at 7 p.m.

In August 2009, Ayers Saint Gross Architects + Planners was selected to conduct Marymount’s campus master planning process. Ayers Saint Gross is a 90-year-old architectural and planning firm headquartered in Baltimore, with offices in Washington and Phoenix. In the past 15 years, the company has completed more than 500 projects at more than 100 colleges and universities.

In early December, architects from Ayers Saint Gross spent a week on campus collecting data and insights. As part of this process, Marymount invited the leadership of the four civic associations that border campus to meet with the architects. We are now opening the process to all of our neighbors.

We hope that you will be able to join us on February 9.
