History
Founded in 1925 by a group of Baltimore business professionals, UB sought to provide educational opportunities for working men and women. In the 1970s UB merged with Eastern College, Mount Vernon School of Law, and Baltimore College of Commerce. In 1975, UB became an "upper division academic institution", offering only third and fourth year undergraduate and post-graduate course work. At the same time, ownership was assumed by the State of Maryland. In 1988, the state merged UB into the new statewide university system, the University of Maryland System, which was later renamed University System of MarylandUniversity System of Maryland

On-campus development
The University, the Bozzuto Group, and the Gould Property Co. entered into a public-private joint venture to develop UB's Bolton Yard parking lot into a mixed use development, including apartments, a bookstore, a grocery store, speciality retail, and garage parking. The project, which is named the Fitzgerald at UB Midtown was scheduled to break ground in 2008. The facility was largely complete by 2011, with the bookstore, parking ramp and housing portions in use by that time. The Fitzgerald project was viewed at the time of its inception as a prelude to future public-private development projects, for instance student housing. To that end, an October 2010 announcement indicated that the university was planning an 11-story student housing tower, to again be built in partnership with a private company, according to The Baltimore Sun.Public Safety/Campus Police
