3. A Little Fun
- A Campus Legacy, by Design
"For three decades, alums from UMD’s Architecture Program have revisited the familiar grounds of College Park, lured not by basketball season or Maryland Day, but by the rare privilege to make a permanent contribution to campus. Since Tom Eichbaum ’74 designed Van Munching Hall in the early 1990s, Terps have mapped out more than 25 buildings on Maryland’s campus, not including countless additions and renovations, projects throughout Greater College Park and over a dozen master plans." Check out Maryland Today's interactive map to learn about the different major Maryland landmarks and architectural contributions. READ MORE
