Maryland is still raising funds for the project, which was first reported by IMS in Oct. 2014 and is scheduled to complete its first phase next spring. It will include a full-size indoor field, massive training facilities and homes for athletic-academic crossover programs like the Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and "Innovation Shell," which the school calls "a hybrid incubator-classroom space designed for students to build their projects, and a rapid prototyping lab."

But let's get to the point: you want to know what the place is going to look like, and InsideMDSports has obtained some new mock-ups for the project. NOTE: these are projected facility features, and it's possible some plans could change between now and completion of the projection.
