The Maryland Institute College of Art is moving ahead with construction of a five-level, $8.1 million classroom building in place of a smaller property it owns at 100-116 Dolphin Street, part of the Bolton Hill National Register Historic District.
Crews have erected fencing around the construction site to begin demolition of a three-story building that currently occupies the property, a former auto repair shop known as the former Dolphin Radiator and Fender Works. The three-story, 15,000 square foot building was built around 1914, acquired by MICA in the early 1960s, and most recently housed the college’s printmaking department, which has moved to 1515 Mount Royal Avenue.
