Hopkins Food & Collaboration Spaces

The Johns Hopkins Medical School integrated several cafes and food-focused gathering spaces into its medical buildings.

Hopkins Housing

In May 2012, a 20-story residential tower opened on North Wolfe Street in south east Baltimore. Called the 929, the rental-apartment facility quickly filled to 85 percent occupancy, with a majority of its tenants, by design, Johns Hopkins graduate students. Located directly across the street from the Johns Hopkins medical institutions, the 929 apartment building features modern amenities, This $60 million project, has 250 suites and 580 beds. While open to the public, the majority of its residents attend the Johns Hopkins schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. The 929 apartment complex replaced Reed Hall, the sole housing facility on the East Baltimore medical campus

Hopkins Library Renovation

The Welch Medical Library has always been an academic resource and gathering space for the Hopkins Community. Showing its' age in disrepair, the hospital president and the deans of the three schools convened the Committee for the 21st Century Welch Library. The group came away with the goal of reaffirming the Welch Library as an information resource and improving the use of the building.

Preliminary repairs included updated lighting, electrical rewiring, and reworked study areas, and short-term renovations included replacing the windows, making repairs to the skylight, improving restroom accessibility, and refurbishing the study carrels to refocus the library as a gathering space.

The aging of the Welch Library's physical space, the declining traffic to the building, the explosion of the electronic collection, and cost constraints have necessitated careful re-examination of the future of the library services and building. Renovations began in Fall of 2013.

Hopkins Research

Formerly known as the Broadway Research Building, the Edward Miller Research Building is a 12 story modernist structure completed in 2003. Payette Associates completed this high rise for University use and wet-lab capacity. 

The Hunterian building was created for experimental work in surgery and pathology; it was demolished in 1955. The Hunterian laboratory for surgical and pathological research was rebuilt on its original site in 1987, and the Hunterian Neurosurgical Laboratory was reestablished in 1991, with a focus on novel treatments for brain tumors. 

The Traylor and Basic Science buildings are used for preclinical sciences and clinical investigations.

The four story Armstrong building houses state of th art medical educational facilities, including an anatomy lab. Dedicated in 2009, the building was designed with a join faculty from all disciplines together in a space where a fertile exchange of ideas can occur outside the classroom. The building features projection capabilities on all four walls and mobile podiums for instructors. There are large lecture halls, intimate learning studios, and private study areas. The building also features the digital communications technology, including virtual-reality simulations, MRI images, CT scans, surgical videos, and other 21st century reference tools.
