THE YEAR IN REVIEW:

2010-2011Message from the Dean:

The 2010-11 academic year was another good year for the MSU School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P). This Annual Report is a reflection of the hard work of our faculty, staff, and students. All are on board to ad-vance our School’s mission and to raise our visibility in the local, national, and global scene. One of the ma-jor highlights of the year was the successful accreditation site visits for the City and Regional Planning and the Graduate Architecture programs. Both the Planning Accreditation Board and the National Architectural Accrediting Board were impressed with our accomplishments and the diverse culture that SA+P nurtures. I appreciate all those who contributed to these significant endeavors.

The year also marked key milestones in our School’s history. The new Bachelor of Science in Construction Management program began in fall 2010 with twelve students. Furthermore, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Environmental Design experienced a remarkable spike in its enrollment. In spite of our growth, however, we continue to provide quality education to our students. The faculty have planned meaningful learning opportunities (i.e., field trips, charrettes, design/build projects, guest lecturers and professional juries, etc…) for students to understand the complexities of their professions. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

SA+P continues to lead the campus in organizing trips abroad for our students. During the academic year, our students travelled to India, Korea, and Haiti. The stories they brought back were amazing and I know their life perspectives have changed. I applaud the faculty members who painstakingly went far and beyond their call of duty to prepare the logistics for these trips and cared for our students while they were abroad.We look forward to the completion of our new home, the Center for Building Environment and Infrastructure Studies (CBEIS). Construction is on schedule and within the budget. We anticipate moving immediately after the May 2012 graduation. I know this significant change will impact our students’ educational experi-ence, enhance our student enrollment, expand our research capabilities, and provide a space to connect with the engineering and transportation disciplines. CBEIS will attract practitioners, private companies, and the community at large, who will be curious about what we do at SA+P. When you read this 2010-11 Annual Report, you know we have been busy. Thanks to all who have focused their time, energies, and, yes, personal resources to continue building the MSU School of Architecture and Planning and Morgan State University as the premier urban institution in Maryland.

Academic Departments Enrollment & Growth

The School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) provides professional preparation for future Architects, Landscape Architects, Planners and Construction Managers. Our programs advance sustainability and en-rich and preserve cultural and built environments.

SA+P is the only Historically Black Institution that houses the four disci-plines of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Construction Manage-ment, and City and Regional Planning within one academic unit. It offers one of the few accredited architectural degree programs in the United States with afternoon and evening classes and studios.

Undergraduate

Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Environmental DesignThis four-year pre-professional degree program consists of two years of general education studies, knowledge attainment and skills building in environmental his-tory, visual graphics, design and planning theory, research and problem solving, and public presentation techniques.

Bachelor of Science in Construction ManagementLaunched in the Fall 2010 semester, this is a four-year program that educates stu-dents in basic construction management principles and practices and their appli-cation to sustainable construction projects.

Graduate

Master of ArchitectureThe Master of Architecture (M. Arch.) is an accredited program geared towards the dual objectives of preparing students both for employability in quality design professional offices and leadership roles as licensed public and private sector ar-chitects.

Master of Landscape ArchitectureThe Master of Landscape Architecture Program (MLA) is an accredited graduate program that offers the pursuit of an urban-based education focusing on the design, planning, and management of the land.

Master of City and Regional PlanningThe accredited graduate program in City and Regional Planning (CRP) supports Morgan’s urban mission by addressing the specific social, political and economic concerns of urban areas, utilizing Baltimore as a proximate lab setting.

BS in Architecture & Environmental Design2001 2005 2010

The School of Architecture and Plan-ning is growing steadily. In Fall 2010, a 20% increase was reported for the total enrollment in the five academic programs. The most significant growth occurred in the undergraduate pro-gram in Architecture and Environmen-tal Design. The graduate programs continue to show a more stable pattern of growth. Of interest is the anticipated growth in the landscape architecture program this coming Fall 2011.

The Bachelor of Science in Construc-tion Management welcomed its first class in the Fall of 2010. These students transferred from the under-graduate program in Architecture and Environmental Design, Civil Engineer-ing, and from regional community colleges. Our first faculty memeber and director, Dr. Walter Dukes, was hired in January 2011 to grow the program and obtain accreditation from the American Council for Construction Education. Although we estimate a conservative student growth rate of 30% annually, we anticipate a spike in student enroll-ment after obtaining accreditation in about three years.

Fall 2010 overall enrollment shows a 20% gain in SA+P’s student

growth.

Strategic goal: In our teaching and curriculum, SA+P will ensure that we provide the most current content for innovative and critical knowledge and skill development.

Features

ARCH 418: History & Theory Seminar | African-American Architects and the Built Environment. Twelve students conducted research on past and present African-American architects and their con-tributions to the built environment, both past and present. Under my direction the students super-vised research and findings have been compiled into a documentary, online resource and publish-able works. Note: Less than 2% of all architects are African-American and African-American students only account for 7% of all architecture students in the nation. Dale Green, Undergraduate Faculty, Department of Architecture

LAAR550: Landscape Architecture Studio V: Com-prehensive Design Studio. This course was devel-oped with the Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. The course focused on sustainable land planning and development in recovery efforts for Haiti. The students traveled to Haiti and worked with Haitian students and community members in the formation of ideas and project guidelines. Diane Jones, Department of Landscape Architecture

Teaching>

SA+P fosters knowledge and appreciation for the cultures and contribu-tions of diverse segments of humanity and their environments. We pro-mote the inclusion of students who have been traditionally excluded from the study of the built and natural environments.

I continue to innovate in all my courses. I strive to integrate theory and practice, and develop critical reflection and communication skills within all my students. Additionally, I aim to inspire a love of learning; helping students nurture their potential for unguided discovery and critical thought that transcend disciplinary and professional boundar-ies. Daniel Campo, Department of City and Regional Planning.

The Future Home of the Lillie Carroll Jackson Museum

Landscape Architecture students are featured at a Baltimore County breakfast for their work on outdoor community space.

The former residence of civil rights activist Lillie Carroll Jackson, located at 1320 N. Eutaw Place in Baltimore is now owned by Morgan State Univer-sity, In 2005, Barbara Mobarak followed the initia-tive of Dr. Gabriel Tenabe to save the deterioration structure along with members of the Mitchell family. Archival research, architectural survey work by students in her class at Morgan and private foundation support contributed to the alloca-tion of $1.6 million dollars in state funding that is currently being utilized for the renovation fo this historic site. Occupancy is expected in the Spring of 2012.

Faculty WorkCreative Alliance Cafe, Pi.Kl (Kuo Pao Lian & BSAED Lecturer Pavlina Ilieva) with Kroiz Architecture (BA-SAED Director and Assistant Professor Gabriel Kroiz) This is the last piece of a 10-year redevelopment of the former Patterson Theater into an urban arts center and community anchor. The found surfaces, board-cast concrete resting on steel beams of the ceiling and the blackened brick interior of the building facade, provided rich natural materiality. The logic for new materials pursued a complementary material-ity and a thematic connection to an essential Baltimore palette. The bar is clad in hot-rolled steel plate reflecting the existing structural steel and blackened brick. Its white marble top illuminates its patrons and recalls the city’s marble stoops. The end walls, which conceal the kitchen and form the main entry, are clad in reclaimed floor joist from neighboring row houses.

The Urbanite Project Open City Challenge Red Line Competition Entry: Clunkers for Planters, by Paul W. Clarke (SA+P Asistant Professor, Department of Architecture) This open ended design and ideas com-petition sought proposals to mitigate the construction phase of Baltimore’s newest light rail line. This proposal is to create a dense, but moveable, scrim of vegetation to mitigate the noise and dust fo the construction of the Red Line. This sylvan screen will limit the pedestrian view into the construction zone and maintain the ambience of the sidewalk access to adjacent businesses which can remain operating while the light rail is created. The planters will temporarily occupy the parking lane of the street, and will be moved as construction is completed in one area and relocated to the next stretch of Red Line con-struction.
