Edward St. John, a Baltimore developer and University of Maryland alumnus, has donated $10 million to help the university build a high-tech classroom building. The proposed building will serve 10,000 students a day, and will be the first new building on campus in 50 years.
St. John graduated in 1961 with a degree in engineering. He went on to found his own real estate development firm. The proposed classroom building will be named after him, and is slated for completion in 2016.
