Frederick Community College Facilities Master Plan Chapter 6 Capital Projects, Campus Development 6-H-2 May, 2023 renovation of Building D will also allow expansion of Health Sciences functions that the existing Linganore Hall is not able to accommodate. Programming for this building has begun and may include a second floor within the existing gym footprint. • Site work associated with this project will include initial development of two new pedestrian axes and related landscape improvements, ultimately connecting with the proposed Innovation and Technology Center and the proposed Enrollment Services / Welcome Center. An allee of paired, medium-sized flowering trees is planned to line the path. These pedestrian paths are also intended to provide small vehicle service access by FCC staff and as Fire Department access. A new vehicle turning circle is planned for the north side of the building to terminate the campus access road, and a new outdoor plaza is proposed to replace the existing vehicle turning circle/parking lot located north of Building C. Hard surface landscape entrance plazas are proposed for the north, south, and west sides of the proposed new construction. 2.
