Fire safety is an interdisciplinary field that includes the dynamics of fire and smoke (in structures and in the wildland), the design of fire-safe systems (materials, products, processes, buildings, communities, etc), people’s behavior in fire and the design of safe egress solutions, the environmental impact of fire, fire hazard and risk analysis, fire investigation, and the role of regulations and public policy. The department offers an exciting and rewarding opportunity in fire protection engineering education and research. The Department of Fire Protection Engineering (FPE) at the University of Maryland is a unique academic unit dedicated to the education of fire safety engineers/researchers as well as to the advancement of fire science.

The T Hangar has a Mega Door, seven individual doors with mullions that swing up and out of the way to provide the 420’ wide opening. The largest footings in the T Hangar are 20’ wide x 56’ long x 7’ deep, these footing had anchor bolts which totaled nearly 5,000 lbs. The building concrete totals approximately 4.000 cubic yards of concrete which make up the slabs and footings. It also drains all the water from the deluge system, which is tied into a under slab storm drain system, to remove all water from the building. It is a pathway for the in slab Deluge Fire Sprinkler system with Viking Grate Nozzles. There is 2,300 lineal feet of 21” wide, 747 aircraft rated, trench drain which has double duty. The T hangar has approximately 3,000,000 pounds of structural steel to complete the 420’ clear span at the High Bay and 212’ clear span at the Low Bay. The office is a fully functioning office with conference rooms, restrooms and break rooms on both floors. The Office is designed and built with the Daikin System to allow for flexibility and efficiency in heating and cooling. It is cooled by 10 18,000 CFM swamp coolers with matching 18,000 CFM exhaust fans (4 of which are within the Mega Door). It has approximately 6,100 sf of mezzanine storage, a 1,200 sf Sim Room, two remote restrooms, an in slab deluge fire sprinkler system and an overhead standard hazard fire sprinkler system. The T Hangar has a 420’ clear span with a 97’ tall ridge line. T Hangar & Office: The T Hangar is a 97,000 SF hangar with an attached 20,250 sf two story office. The Fabrication building has its own exterior hazardous storage area for OSHA and State compliance.
It has been designed with both fixed and portable dust booths, and natural gas powered generators back up specific tooling processes within the building. This facility is designed with compressed air and power throughout the facility it has a 1,300 sf tool storage room, a weld shop and restrooms. The building has 14,000 sf of Mezzanine storage, 8,000 SF of office space, a break room, a 5,000 sf temperature and humidity controlled refrigeration room for “lay-up” of composite parts, an attached 5,500 sf Oven Building with a 4.8 Million BTU and 2 Million BTU oven for “cooking’ composite parts. Fabrication Building: An 88,000 sf facility completely air conditioned with an energy efficient Daikin System.
