DAVIS has started construction on six projects across the Mid-Atlantic, advancing developments that will expand student housing, educational facilities, senior living options and community spaces.
At Johns Hopkins University's Homewood Campus in Baltimore, Maryland, work is underway on a new residence hall and dining commons. The development will replace Alumni Memorial Residence Hall and add more than 400 student rooms. The dining facility is being shaped by student feedback to create additional space for campus dining and social activities.
In Chevy Chase, Maryland, DAVIS has begun work on Corso Chevy Chase, a senior living community developed by Galerie Living on the former National 4-H Conference Center site. The project is expected to provide approximately 200 housing units.
Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania also marked the start of construction on Zern Hall, a new Center for Science and Innovation. The academic facility is designed to support science education, student collaboration and exploration.
In Odenton, Maryland, construction is beginning on a four-story parking garage near the MARC station. The approximately 1,100-space facility will consolidate existing commuter parking into a smaller footprint while adding about 300 spaces.
In Philadelphia's Kensington neighbourhood, DAVIS is undertaking renovations at McPherson Square Library. The work will modernize the community facility and extend its role as a neighbourhood resource.
The sixth project involves the historic sanctuary at National Baptist Memorial Church, which is being renovated for District Church's new home. The work will adapt the existing worship space for a new congregation while retaining its function as a community gathering place.
The six projects represent a range of construction needs across the Mid-Atlantic, from higher education and senior housing to public transportation and community facilities. Their starts also establish a pipeline of work extending into 2027 and beyond.
Implications for Mid-Atlantic Owners and Contractors
The projects demonstrate continued investment in institutional, residential and community infrastructure across the region. For owners and developers, the developments address demand for student accommodation, senior living and upgraded public facilities. For contractors and trade partners, the varied project types create opportunities across education, housing, renovation and transportation construction.
