Whiting-Turner to Establish New Corporate Headquarters on Goucher College Campus

150,000 square foot building slated for completion in late 2028

BALTIMORE, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, a nationally recognized leader in construction management and general contracting, announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to the campus of Goucher College. This strategic partnership includes the construction and development of a state-of-the-art facility, which will house Whiting-Turner's corporate headquarters and stand as a cornerstone of the long-term collaboration between the two organizations.

"Relocating our headquarters to the Goucher College campus represents a significant milestone for Whiting-Turner," said Tim Regan, President & CEO. "This partnership brings together two historic Baltimore institutions with more than a century of leadership and innovation. It reflects our commitment to the future growth of our company while strengthening our ties to the community. We are excited to collaborate with Goucher to create a space that cultivates engagement, innovation, and lasting partnerships for generations to come."

The 150,000-square-foot office building, slated for completion in late 2028, will be a dynamic, multi-faceted space designed to foster connections with both the Goucher community and the surrounding Towson area. In addition to serving as the new home to Whiting-Turner's local employees, the facility will also support state-of-the-art, safety-focused industry training and other community-focused initiatives. Goucher and Whiting-Turner are developing ways to use the new headquarters as a hub for introducing young people to career opportunities in today's high-tech and innovative design and construction industries. Whiting-Turner and Goucher have signed a 50-year ground lease agreement, reinforcing their shared commitment to long-term growth and collaboration.

Whiting-Turner has enlisted Gensler, a premier global architecture and design firm specializing in college campuses and office buildings, to lead the design and development of its new headquarters. Diane Hoskins, a Global Co-Chair at Gensler based in Washington, D.C., will oversee the project, bringing her expertise in innovative design to create a space that reflects both Whiting-Turner's vision and Goucher's legacy as a forward-thinking institution.

"As Goucher celebrates its 140^th anniversary this year, we are thrilled to partner with Whiting-Turner, another longstanding Baltimore community member and national industry leader, on their new headquarters," says Goucher College President Kent Devereaux. "This partnership is future-focused and takes an innovative approach to business development, education, and community engagement while opening the door to collaborative experiential learning opportunities and workforce pipelines for future generations."

Whiting-Turner has been headquartered at the Hampton Plaza Office Building on East Joppa Road in Towson for the past 51 years.

Whiting-Turner's announcement comes six months after Goucher College and Edenwald Senior Living unveiled plans for the first university retirement community (URC) in Maryland, combining the educational and cultural activities of Goucher with the services and amenities of a Life Plan Community. Goucher's partnership with Edenwald will create a vibrant, multi-generational community that fosters lifelong learning and connection.
