Ayers Saint Gross To Rebuild Pimlico On February 23, the Maryland Stadium Au-
thority announced that the Baltimore-based company Ayers Saint Gross has been selected to head the rebuilding of Pimlico Race Course. T e vote to select this group of architects and engi- neers was the fi rst major public action towards the project that was approved by the Maryland General Assembly last year. According to Balti- more Brew online magazine, Ayers Saint Gross was unanimously selected over nine other teams that issued proposals for the project.
Maryland Horse Library & Educa- tion Center
On March 15, the Maryland Horse Founda-
tion announced the launching of a $1 million Capital Campaign to establish a new Maryland Horse Library and Education Center in the heart of historic Reisterstown. T e new center will be housed at the Maryland Horse Breeders Association’s building on Main Street. T e goal of the center is to not only house an expansive collection of books and reference
materials, but to also foster and promote edu- cation, community ties and passion to ensure the longevity of the Maryland horse industry. In addition to the library itself, the center will include a memorabilia area, meeting space, in- teractive kiosks and rotating exhibits. Educational programs will be off ered to engage
a wide audience of equine-inclined youth, the general public and lifelong industry participants. Visitors will learn about Maryland’s champion horses and riders while engaging with all facets of the state’s diverse equine industry. “T e way [into the horse industry] is through
learning, so that’s the most exciting aspect of this project,” said co-chair of the Capital Cam- paign and Maryland Horse Foundation Presi- dent Josh Pons. “T ere’s someone out there who has a passion for the game but just doesn’t know how to get started, and we could be that gateway for people, the portal where people come through the door in Reisterstown and go ‘wow, I met someone realy interesting doing research in that library.’” T e goal of the Capital Campaign is to raise
$1 million to update 3,500 square feet of space in the historic building, purchase furnishings, intergrate current audio/visual technologies and support ongoing operational costs.
