Press Release
DLA Piper is pleased to announce that its Baltimore office has committed a quarter-million dollar donation to the University of Baltimore (UB) Law School for the construction of its new 12-story building projected to open in early 2013. The funds will be used for the construction of two water features that will be named after the firm, including an exterior water wall in the outdoor garden and an interior stair-step waterfall in the lobby.
?
?We appreciate the generous support of DLA Piper toward our new law center project,? said Robert L. Bogomolny, president of the University of Baltimore. ?The firm?s recognition of the UB School of Law?s reach and impact on the region?s legal community is now a prominent and permanent part of the center, and we?re proud to see it come to fruition.?
DLA Piper boasts more than 20 UB Law School alumni spread across five of its US offices, including Roger Truitt, senior counsel in DLA Piper?s Baltimore office who has served as a member of the law school Dean's Advisory Council for the past 12 years and was honored by the UB Law Alumni Association as ?Alumni of the Year? in 2007.
?DLA Piper has a long-standing commitment to Baltimore and with the Baltimore office being one of the foundation offices of the firm, we saw this as a wonderful opportunity to express our appreciation of UB Law and support the next generation of lawyers in Maryland,? said Paul A. Tiburzi, managing partner of DLA Piper?s Baltimore office. ?We are also excited to be part of a new world-class building that will be a model for future law school buildings around the world.?
In speaking on behalf of his fellow UB Law graduates, Truitt indicated that ?DLA Piper and its UB Law alumni are extremely grateful for the education they received at UB Law and want to see the law school continue to grow in its service to the legal and local communities.?
UB Law School is the sixth-largest public law school in the country and produces many of Maryland's leaders in the legal community. The new building began construction in August 2010 on a UB-owned parcel at the intersection of Charles Street and Mt. Royal Avenue. It will include many green design features, such as innovative air handling systems, the active capture of light and water that would otherwise go to waste and the use of recycled materials throughout the construction phase.
