Pre-commercial thinning pays off. :)

I think it is a big leaf Magnolia. I noticed that they had several planted around buildings so it must flower in the spring. I think paw paw leaves are much smaller although similar in shape.

Yep, you got a bigleaf.  They're also called umbrella magnolia because of the huge leaves.

sorry to all who already guessed this, posted my reply after reading the initial post, then scrolled down to see the pic and what others said.  But anyway i feel that it is a big leaf mag. after seeing the pic. they can grow in moist areas have huge "umbrella" like leaf arrangement like said before and a paw paw like said also has much smaller leaves (not anywhere near 18").  Did not want my post to appear like i was just repeating what others had said.

Well you did good because I had to look it up. I've been in areas it grows in, but never saw it.
