An Overview of the East Campus Redevelopment Innitiaive

The East Campus Redevelopment Initiative is a project under the 'Rethink College Park' program. It is mainly focused on the east campus community in College Park, Maryland. This is located just to the east of the main campus and Route 1. As it stands right now, the land that being planned for the East Campus project is now occupied by old University service buildings and student housing. The initiative plans to re-vamp the image in that area by demolishing most the currently standing building and replacing them with (among other things) new retail shops, restaurants and student housing. This is a huge initiative and will require a lot of cooperation between the non-student residents of the city of college park and the university itself.

Here are a couple of concept picture of what the developers of the East Campus Redevelopment initiatives hope to accomplish:
