Description: The college is beginning a process of evaluating long term campus needs, possible building types, and possible locations. Possible new facilities could include a learning center/library, a performing arts center, and a wellness/recreation center. During 2002 the college met with an advisory committee that was appointed by the Director of M-NCPPC and the Mayor of the City of Takoma Park. The advisory committee provided a forum for discussion of the college proposals. The college has not established a timetable for completing specific building plans.

Planning Board Review Process & Case Number:
If the college seeks to construct a new building they will be required to apply for a record plat. Approval of the plat would require consideration of traffic impacts and points of access. Requirements for stormwater management would be reviewed by the City of Takoma Park. Because of the religious affiliation of the college, they will not be required to obtain approval for a special exception. There may be other approvals required by either the County or the City.
