A dynamic resource for the University of Maryland and the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, the Kibel Gallery hosts exhibitions showcasing research, history, practice and innovation in the built environment and spatial disciplines. These exhibitions include those curated by Maryland faculty and students, as well as traveling shows from world-renowned institutions and architecture studios.

The Linear Gallery is the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation’s second, smaller gallery space. It features intermittent exhibitions, but is also used for classes, student gatherings and other events. The Linear Gallery is open during building hours.
The Historic Preservation Program’s Archaeology and Preservation Laboratory is committed to producing high quality research on the material culture of the past, from standing structures to buried artifacts. The interpretation of the past requires careful consideration and analysis to open up new understandings and develop new lines of inquiry. HISP faculty, students and community volunteers all contribute to the success of the lab and the interpretation of the findings.
Research Projects
The Stormwater Infrastructure Resilience and Justice (SIRJ) Lab focuses on infrastructural justice for stormwater management and resilience. Established in 2019 by Associate Professor Marccus Hendricks, the lab studies urban stormwater and flooding, emphasizing the socio-spatial dynamics of water infrastructure and green spaces. Dr. Priscila Alves has served as lab manager since 2021 and works closely with research projects and mentoring and supervising students.
Our research labs forward cutting-edge approaches to shed light on critical issues and discoveries within Maryland communities and beyond.
