We are so proud to announce that we have been awarded the glazing package for the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) School of Social Work project, in partnership with The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.
This new facility represents a significant investment in the future of education, research, and community engagement. The School of Social Work will serve as a dynamic center for teaching and service, designed with a strong focus on sustainability, wellness, and long-term energy performance.
A Vision for Sustainability and Performance
The UMB School of Social Work project is designed as a zero-energy consumption building, setting a new benchmark for sustainable construction in Maryland. Through the integration of solar panels, geothermal heating, and a high-efficiency façade, the building will achieve exceptional energy performance and environmental responsibility.
Chesapeake Glazing’s scope includes:
• Fully unitized curtainwall with triple-glazed bird-friendly glazing and tapered metal panel infills
• Integrated aluminum perforated vertical fins and custom horizontal sunshades
• Custom horizontal and vertical aluminum plate “eyebrow” panels
• A full range of high-performance glass, including laminated, fire-rated, and mid-iron options
• Complete interior glazing systems, from decorative aluminum to STC-rated demountable and folding glass partitions
With Warren Mellin leading the project as our Glazing PM, our team is proud to contribute to a build that prioritizes innovation, sustainability, and excellence in execution.
Building for the Future
As the demand for energy-efficient, high-performing buildings continues to grow, our team remains dedicated to delivering façade systems that support a more sustainable future for the Mid-Atlantic region.
We look forward to sharing updates as the project progresses and celebrating another step forward in redefining what is possible in commercial glazing.
