All eyes were on the corner of North Charles Street and Mount Royal Avenue on the afternoon of Aug. 26, when more than 350 guests descended upon the site of UB’s future John and Frances Angelos Law Center for the landmark project’s groundbreaking ceremony. Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (pictured below), Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. and other dignitaries joined the UB community and several key donors—including Peter Angelos, LL.B. ’61; Willard Hackerman, representing the Whiting-Turner Contracting Co.; Sayra Wells Meyerhoff, J.D. ’78, M.S. ’04, and Neil Meyerhoff; Robert C. Embry, representing The Abell Foundation; and Renée Bronfein Ades, B.S. ’74, J.D. ’00—in celebrating the start of construction on the $107 million building, slated to set new standards for sustainable architecture in Baltimore.
“Because of this building’s location, because of the University’s aspirations for creating a world-class facility and because of UB’s ongoing commitment to the larger community, the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center will impact not only the University but also all of midtown Baltimore,” UB President Robert L. Bogomolny noted in hisremarksto the crowd.
