April 17 was a great day for Johns Hopkins, the city of Baltimore and the state of Maryland as the ceremonial shovels hit dirt for the groundbreaking of the first building in what will be known as the Science and Technology Park at Johns Hopkins.

The mixed-use development project, just north of the medical campus, is part of the East Baltimore Development Initiative, an 80-acre, $850 million redevelopment effort four years in the making. Among the hundreds on hand to launch the life sciences park were Gov. Robert Ehrlich, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Mayor Martin O'Malley, Rep. Elijah Cummings, JHU President William R. Brody, SoM Dean Edward Miller and representatives of the development team, the Forest City-New East Baltimore Partnership. The building, scheduled to open at 855 N. Wolfe St. in early 2008, has been named the John G. Rangos Sr. Building to recognize a $10 million gift to the Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences at Johns Hopkins, a lead tenant.
