In 1955, the William P. Cole Jr. Student
Activities Building was built on the main thoroughfare of the College Park campus at the University of Maryland.
As the years passed it unofficially became Cole Field House to the students and Maryland basketball fans. At the time it was built, it was the second largest structure on the east coast, right behind Madison Square
Garden. More upsets of No.1 ranked teams happened at this facility than anywhere else in the country. The
Terps garnered a Final Four banner in
2001, the first in school history. It was the home of Maryland basketball for
47 years before the XFINITY Center
(formerly Comcast Center) was built by Gilbane in 2002. After minor renovations, Cole reopened in 2004, and has been used for club teams, intramurals, Homecoming events, concerts, trade shows, classes and offices. The outside 14 tennis courts surrounding the building are also still in use by the campus community.
Fast forward ten years, the University of Maryland announced that they would be taking on an initiative to breathe new life into Cole Field House.
Spurred by Maryland’s entrance to the Big Ten Conference and major financial support from Kevin Plank,
Under Armour Founder/CEO and
UMD alumnas, and other private donors; the 60 year old building will become a state-of-the-art athletic hub on campus once again, but this time, for football. Gilbane will renovate and expand the facility to feature an indoor NCAA football field, indoor football training complex, Sports
Medicine capabilities, Health & Human
Performance Center, Academy for
Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and two outdoor football practice fields.
Valued at over $100 million, specific program elements include athletic, research/innovation, and clinical spaces. Indoor/ outdoor fields, strength training, media-video and film rooms,
physical therapy and sports medicine, locker rooms, coach’s offices, lounges, meeting rooms, laundry, and a dining hall will be utilized for athletics.
Research/Innovation elements will include lab and lab support, collaborative spaces, classrooms and meeting areas, academic and computer labs, human performance, and new product development. Lastly, the clinical elements will be comprised of exam rooms, medical labs, physician offices, nurse and tech offices, physical therapy, radiography/imaging (X-Ray,
MRI, CAT scan), biomechanics, muscle, physiology, and mild brain trauma
(concussion).
Currently in Phase 1 of construction,
Gilbane is in the process of demolishing the interior bowl to make room for a regulation-sized indoor football field. Maryland promises a facility that integrates innovation, research and athletics to create the future of the science of sport.
Left: During Phase 2, Gilbane will demolish these columns to make room for an expansion on the north side of the building which will expand the facility closer to the football stadium.

A leader in the DC marketplace for developing strategic partnerships with our small and local businesses; Gilbane teamed up with our JV partner on the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
Library Renovation project, Smoot
Construction, to host a DC Business
Opportunities Forum. The event, held at the R.I.S.E Demonstration Center on the St. Elizabeths East redevelopment site, attracted over 100 CBE subcontractors and suppliers to meet our team. Smoot | Gilbane collaborated with the Ward 7 Business Partnership, the Ward 8 Business Council, City
First Bank, Construction Bonds Inc.,
Textura, Department of Small and
Local Business Development (DSLBD), and DC Department of Employment
Services (DOES) to feature details on more than $400 million worth of upcoming construction opportunities
(including Gilbane's Wilson Secondary
School and Ron Brown College
Preparatory School), discuss our prequalification process, and answer contractor questions one-on-one.
Joshua A. Etemadi from Construction
Bonds, Inc. attended the event affirming, "These events provide a great opportunity to learn more about upcoming work in the area and to meet and greet contractors of all types and sizes.” Two sessions were held, allowing attendees to hear from team members and speak directly with the construction professionals that will be working with them on the presented opportunities. Linda Graves,
VP Diversity & Community Affairs for
Gilbane Building Company says, "We are excited to continue to deepen our relationship with small and local businesses as we continue to grow in the DC market."
DC Business Oportunities Forum Attendees
On Thursday, June 2 nd Gilbane participated in the 26th annual JDRF
Real Estate Games, which raised over $520,000 for T1D research.
Each year, the games bring together over 30 different real estate firms ranging from brokers to architects to general contractors for a little friendly competition. Companies participate in individual and team events throughout the day including swimming, basketball, tennis, chair hockey, spinning, volleyball, and even noodle races!
This year, Gilbane wore t-shirts with the hashtag #GilbaneGrit to represent our core values of toughmindedness, teamwork, dedication to excellence, and discipline. Our team embodied these values throughout the day by portraying persistent sportsmanship and respect; knowing that everyone was there for the same reason.

At Gilbane we are taking the next steps to innovate and create lean processes that can improve the client experience, as well our project teams’ experience. We are providing services in-house that have previously required a third-party. This reduces costs and drives quality standards. One of these in-house services is surveying, which is performed by utilizing layout engineers. Gilbane's layout engineers use total stations, perform laser scans of new and existing construction for
MEP coordination, and conduct floor flatness surveys. For example, Gilbane’s layout engineers and virtual design and construction (VDC) managers are currently using laser scanning software on the 1399 New York Avenue Lobby
Renovation. The software allows the team to automatically fit multiple scans together like a jigsaw puzzle to determine detailed existing conditions.
One of their main onsite layout responsibilities is to provide control lines or points that electricians and plumbers can use as a common line to pull off of for their measurements.
This ability to control quality in-house is ideal for keeping quality control standards consistent across all of our projects.
To support the foundations at NFCU,
1100 Geopiers are being installed that will make the headquarters structurally sound, by improving the soil. The layout engineer is able to provide the exact location of each Geopier based on structural plans. By doing this in house versus hiring a third party surveyor Jeff
Himelright, Senior Layout Engineer, explains “We are giving ourselves complete control of quality instead of allowing the subcontractors to drive the quality control process.” Layout engineers are able to use very tight tolerances to insure accuracy.

A ccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2014, cranes were either the primary or secondary cause of 44 fatalities in the United States. Of those
44 fatalities, 50% were construction-related. Gilbane continues to see safety as our number one priority on our job sites. As our project for Tishman Speyer at 900 19th street (pictured) goes into full gear we decided to bring in Maxim Crane
Works to provide a training session on crane & rigging safety. In the session led by John
Merrill, Director of Safety for Maxim, employees were able to learn about specific safety precautions while operating a crane on site. On the following pages is a little more from the question and answer portion of the training.
Page 8
GILBANE: When erecting a crane in downtown DC is there anything to be particularly aware of?
MERRILL: First you have to look at the type of crane you will be using: tower crane vs. mobile crane. The main difference is that the tower crane will be in place longer and cannot be taken down quickly. The most risky aspect of a tower crane is the erection and dismantling. The construction team must ensure that everyone on site is aware of the schedule and involved in the process. One of the keys to keeping the site safe is blocking off a
50-foot safe zone around the crane.
With the tower crane, once it is built no road access needs to be blocked, whereas with a mobile crane traffic issues can exist because the base of the crane can take up a large chunk of real estate. Therefore a tower crane provides a huge benefit in a congested downtown area such as DC.
GILBANE: What is your number one safety tip for crane usage?
MERRILL: My biggest safety tip would have to be planning ahead of time as well as ensuring you have a certified operator.
GILBANE: In response to recent events, how can a crane collapse be avoided?
MERRILL: Seldom will a crane collapse.
Cranes are well designed, safe pieces of equipment. If they are maintained and operated properly very rarely will a crane itself fail. The only times you may run into an issue would be when a crane is put into a situation where it is not designed to do what it is being asked to do. Having the right people, setting up the crane properly and consistent maintenance are all vital. If you do those three things you will be successful.
GILBANE: Part of our Gilbane
Cares and Incident and Injury
Free philosophies are taking safety measures beyond typical requirements, what safety precautions for cranes do you suggest beyond OSHA standards?
MERRILL: Maintenance, thorough inspection of cranes on a daily basis, and a trained and competent operator are all essential to safely operating a crane. Taking the time to make sure that all of the setup configurations are thoroughly checked is what will initially set you up for success. For example, having the correct mats underneath your cranes, determining the weight of the object you will be handling, how close to the placement can the crane get are all questions Maxim
Crane Works asks in their survey prior to showing up on site. Crane operators need to be fully aware of potential obstacles, such as overhead power lines and access to the site beforehand.
Having certified and qualified riggers and flaggers is also necessary in order to keep all sites safe.
GILBANE: Renovation vs. Base
Building: Are there specific precautions for each that need to take place?
MERRILL: A key component when dealing with renovations is the integrity of the ground that the crane will be set up on. We must make sure that the area is firm and can support the crane. Older buildings need exhaustive research to determine what is underneath the concrete; for example, are there water lines, electrical vaults, etc. that could affect the placement of the crane. It is the customer’s duty to provide the research and know this information beforehand.
