Student Housing and Residential Facilities
Thurgood Marshall Residential Complex (Tower 2)
Meeting the University’s need for increased student residential housing, Morgan will begin construction of a second facility to complement the newly opened 670-bed Thurgood Marshall Residence Hall, to accommodate Morgan’s growing new and returning student population. The adjacent residential tower will comprise an additional 450 units, creating an expansive modern, apartment-style Thurgood Marshall Residential Complex. Construction is slated for completion by fall of 2026.
BEAR FACTS 2023 22
MORGAN
New Health and Human Services Building
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new health and human services building took place in Fall 2021. The new building will provide state-of-the-art classroom, lab, demonstration, office and community spaces for the School of Community Health and Policy, including Public Health, Pre-Professional Physical Therapy, Nutritional Sciences and the Prevention Sciences Research Center; the School of Social Work; the Medical Technology program; the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences; and the University Counseling Center. The building’s location at the northeast corner of Argonne Drive and Hillen Road, across from the recently developed West Campus, will form the southern gateway to our campus. The facility will be located on the former site of Turner’s Armory, which was demolished in 2020. Construction is expected to be completed in 2024.
23 MORGAN.EDU
University Projects (continued)
Five-Year Projects
Included in the governor’s five-year Capital Improvement Program for Morgan is funding for a new science complex, which will be located at the corner of E. Cold Spring Lane and Stadium Way. The new facility will provide state-of-the art classrooms, teaching labs and research space, which will help further our doctoral research mission. The Science Building will be completed in 2027. As new buildings and facilities are coming online, the University will also address some of its existing buildings. The Washington Service Center, former home of MSU’s Office of Police and Public Safety, is scheduled for demolition in 2023, and the location is slated to be the site of the new science complex. The Carter-Grant-Wilson Building is scheduled for renovations in 2026–27.
Long-Term Projects (Five-plus years)
Legacy Student Housing Renovation
To meet the demand of both existing and forecast enrollment increases, Morgan will construct three new residential facilities on campus by the fall of 2026 and will update all remaining legacy housing facilities over the next eight years. The first of the completed student housing projects will be the new Thurgood Marshall Residential Complex, which will begin housing students this fall. The plan also calls for the demolition of two legacy facilities: O’Connell Hall and the Thurgood Marshall Apartments.
MORGAN
MSU Campus Expansion: Lake Clifton Redevelopment
Central to Morgan’s status as an anchor institution with plans to physically grow the University’s footprint, Morgan has acquired the approximately 58.9-acre site of the former Lake Clifton High School from the City of Baltimore. Nearly doubling the University’s size, the parcel of land, located less than 1.5 miles from campus, will be significant in addressing Morgan’s ability to expand beyond its current campus radius. The 20-year master plan and vision for the property includes the development of a multipurpose convocation center, a research/innovation facility, graduate/family student housing, other educational facilities, and retail and mixed-use properties.
