Your Safety Is Important!

Students living in Patapsco, Susquehanna, Chesapeake and Potomac halls are reminded that there will be construction noise from 7AM-7PM Monday-Saturday. New pathways and signage have been created to move you safely around the construction zones. For your safety, please do not enter any fenced construction areas or designated traffic lanes for large trucks. No work personnel will enter any residence hall without an escort and all staff will have identification cards clearly visible at all times.
If you notice a safety concern or inappropriate behavior, you are asked to report it immediately to Residential Life at 410-455-2951 or the FXIT line at 410-455-3948 from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. You can also report any concerns to your residence hall front desk 24 hours a day.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation for a successful semester “under construction”!

New Recreation Space and Landscaping!

The new Patapsco Addition resident recreational amenity additions are as follows:

• New Basketball Court located near Back Road on the west side of True Grits, will feature a regulation size basketball court with two retaining walls designed for spectator seating next to the court . The court will be surrounded by a 10-foot tall fence to aid in ball retention within the court area.
• The new volleyball will be located behind Chesapeake Hall and will be a regulation size sand court with a short surrounding fence to aid in ball retention in the court area. Also included in the amenities are a charcoal grill and outdoor furnishings adjacent to the court.
• Both courts will have outdoor lighting available on an as needed basis for court use.
