Morgan State University receives approval to buy old Lake Clifton campus, fanning area revitalization hopes

Baltimore’s Board of Estimates on Wednesday approved Morgan State University’s purchase of several land parcels including the former Lake Clifton High School where officials hope to build the university’s first modern satellite campus. Morgan State officials pledged spending $200 million to convert three city-owned parcels of land into a new campus about a mile south of the university’s main campus that would expand its footprint in East Baltimore.
