University Projects
With over 30+ university related projects in WMC’s portfolio, WMC is the go-to firms to provide surveying, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services. The variation of campus environments of Washington DC area universities, such as historic Gallaudet University’s gated campus and the urban
campus of The George Washington University, fundamental to the design of university related projects. WMC understands that the needs of professors, students, and staff are also vital to the success of university projects. All of these factors are taken in account with the site design of university facilities.

Northern Virginia Community College – Higher Education Center
Sterling, VA
Montgomery College King Street & Arts Center project involved the conversion of the former Giant Food Heidi Bakery production and distribution facility in Silver Spring, as part of expansion of facilities of Montgomery College on a block westerly of the WMATA/CSX Right-of-Way. Parts of this existing 1.5 acres and building were to be removed and the remainder was rehabilitated for arts education, studio and office spaces as well as providing for a covered sculptor workspace, ceramic kiln, and an open multi-use courtyard.
WMC assisted in the development plans for approvals by the Montgomery County Planning Board and coordinated and developed plans for new utilities including water, sanitary, sewer and storm drainage as well as storm water management as applicable. WMC also worked collaboratively with the project architect on the design of the courtyard and streetscape/landscape improvements.

Georgetown University – Henle Village
Washington, DC
This project required modification of all site areas within the common grounds of Henle Village and the adjacent dormitories. Much of the information on existing utilities were intentionally field verified during construction and plans were modified accordingly. Background records from Georgetown University were used to establish utility routing through the site since most of the utilities and landscape revolved around courtyard drainage. Grading was a large portion of the project in order to establish ramps between the dormitories and the main public plazas. There were approximately five dormitories interconnected with pedestrian areas and amenity spaces. The entire project was landscaped with retaining walls, ramps, railings, seats, and stairs.

Gallaudet University - Denison House
Washington, DC
WMC was involved in the design of Denison House located on Gallaudet University’s campus which is the first and only school dedicated to the pursuit of advanced education for the deaf and hard of hearing community. The main goal of Denison House was to redesign the historic structure to house a small group of students as well as living quarters for one faculty member. The recent renovation became the prototype and benchmark for Gallaudet University’s live and learn residential concept, which encourages the educational experience outside the conventional classroom.

City of College Station Cemetery- Aggie Field of Honor
College Station, TX
WMC provided planning, design and construction assistance for a new, high-quality municipal cemetery that includes a specific area set aside as the “Aggie Field of Honor”. These services included topographic and utility surveys, subdivision platting, cemetery master planning, geotechnical and environmental assessments, existing facility evaluation, and development of construction design plans, specifications, and estimates.
The project proposed a challenge when developing a Master Plan for a shared cemetery that the City of College Station and Texas A&M would admire. The design team explored various design elements that would provide sustainable, distinct, and flexible design options that would be appropriate to incorporate into the Cemetery Master Plan. These design elements included prominent columbarium, stone walls and columns, ceremonial gateways, and natural "texas" landscape integrating evergreen edges.
