Johns Hopkins plans to build a new life sciences building in East Baltimore

Johns Hopkins University is planning to build a life sciences center in East Baltimore, but graduate students are concerned about how the demolition of several academic buildings to make way for the center could impact their working conditions. Hopkins is demolishing the Hampton House at 624 N. Broadway and two nearby facilities to make room for the new building. A university spokesperson did not disclose the estimated size of the upcoming building or its cost but confirmed that demolition will start in 2024.
