Save Glenn Dale Hospital
University, Community come together to envision adaptive reuse and redevelopment of historic campus
On a bright, crisp morning in January 2014, professionals representing several disciplines within the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation spoke on the challenges and opportunities facing the Glenn Dale Hospital site. Those speakers - with perspectives informed by scholarship and experience in architecture, planning, preservation and real estate development - then facilitated roundtable discussions in small groups with students, community members, preservationists and representatives of the property owner, the Maryland-National Capital Planning Commission.
