Ellenzweig provided programming, lab planning, and design for renovations to and expansion of the former library to create a new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) facility for the School of Math and Science (SOMS) at the Community College of Baltimore County on their Catonsville campus.

 

The building provides teaching and research facilities for  Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Geography, Geospatial Applications, Physics, and Mathematics. Program spaces  include 15 laboratories, six lecture rooms, tutoring space, science exhibition space, faculty offices, lounge/meeting spaces, and a planetarium.

 

The renovations included replacement of the existing building’s dated exterior with a new facade, a modern aesthetic appropriate for the teaching and research facilities within.
