BALTIMORE, MD — Gilbane Building Company joined Goucher College for a groundbreaking celebration to commemorate the start of construction for The Judy C. Lewent ’70 Science Center, Goucher College’s new science facility. The groundbreaking celebration — held at the current Hoffberger Science building and future site of the expanded Lewent Science Center — featured remarks from Aruna Miller, Maryland Lieutenant Governor; Ben Cardin, former U.S. Senator; and Kent Devereaux, Goucher College President, among others.
Gilbane was selected to provide preconstruction and construction management at-risk services for the new Lewent Science Center, designed by EwingCole. This 44,000-square-foot annex to the Hoffberger Science building will feature advanced laboratories and flexible teaching spaces. The center aims to support the scientific discoveries of today and the future. The project is set to be completed in 2027.
“The Lewent Science Center at Goucher College will serve as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and discovery,” said Kent Devereaux, Goucher College President. “The Lewent Science Center will be home to interdisciplinary research, with faculty and students working closely together, leading to new discoveries, and launching meaningful careers for our students in medicine and the sciences.”
“This project has been a vision for the college for a long time,” said Brian Malanchuk, Business Leader for Gilbane in Maryland. “Our partnership to get to this moment has been marked by collaborative innovation and a shared commitment to excellence. We’re excited to use our expertise as the country’s top education facilities builder to deliver a building that will transform STEM education and research capabilities while creating an inspiring space where the next generation of scientists can thrive.”
