TOWSON UNIVERSITY IS… THE FASTEST GROWING

TOWSON UNIVERSITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

MARCH 2019

Please explain the cost of the Smith Hall (Visual & Communications Technology) Renovation.

We have looked at our current estimate for the Smith Renovation project and we believe

this estimate to be accurate.

Futhermore, we researched our construction cost as compared to two current

renovations in the CIP. The cost for the Smith renovation comes in lower per square foot

as compared to the other two projects at Salisbury and Coppin.

Smith Hall (Towson University) renovation construction cost per square foot: $453

Blackwell Hall (Salisbury University) renovation construction cost per square foot: $459

Percy Julian (Coppin State University) renovation construction cost per square foot: $492
