The Board of Regents, within the limits prescribed by law, may issue revenue bonds to finance the building of dormitories and other student housing facilities. Student union buildings at College Park and Baltimore have been constructed as well as a combination Physical Education and Auditorium building at College Park. The Regents issue such bonds directly with the payments of principal and interest made from revenues realized from the use of the buildings (Code 1967, 1969 Repl. Vol., Art. 77A, sees. 20-27AD). There are four principal campuses of the University located at Col- lege Park, Catonsville, Baltimore and Princess Anne.

Undergraduate instruction is offered in the School of Architecture. Graduate level instruction is offered in the School of Library and Information Services.
