Scott and Carole Greenhaus

The A. James Clark School of Engineering proudly recognizes Scott (B.S. ’82, Civil Engineering; M.B.A. ’86) and Carole (M.B.A. ’86) Greenhaus for their exceptional philanthropy with the naming of the Scott and Carole Greenhaus Building Information Modeling (BIM) Lab, the first named laboratory in Stanley R. Zupnik Hall. Their visionary support advances the future of civil and environmental engineering education at the University of Maryland.

A long-time leader in the construction industry, Scott Greenhaus has been with Structural Group, a Maryland-based construction company, for over 42 years, beginning as an intern while studying civil engineering at Maryland. Now serving as senior advisor in retirement, Scott has helped shape Structural into a national leader in structural repair and restoration, working on landmark projects such as the Freedom Tower, the Waldorf Astoria, the Supreme Court Building, and the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Beyond their professional accomplishments, the Greenhauses are committed to making higher education more accessible. In 2018, they made a generous gift to the Maryland Promise Program (MPP) to support need-based scholarships. More recently, they expanded their support to fund a department-specific MPP for civil and environmental engineering. “By relieving some of the financial burden,” Scott says, “I hope the scholarship can help students take full advantage of what the Clark School has to offer.”

Scott’s engagement goes beyond philanthropy. As Chair of the Clark School Board of Visitors and a member of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Board of Visitors, he is a passionate advocate for students, particularly inspired by their creativity and excellence. “These students give me hope for the future,” he says.

With their gift to name the BIM Lab, the Greenhauses are helping bring to life the vision for Stanley R. Zupnik Hall—a 163,000-square-foot hub for collaboration, innovation, and the education of future engineers. “I hope Zupnik Hall is a place that will attract new talent and innovation,” Scott shares, “along with excitement for making the built world a safer, better place.”
