Montgomery Campus Opens Second Building
|
|
The new Academic and Research Building on the
Montgomery County
campus was dedicated May 19 at a ceremony whose guests included
Bruce Romer, the county's chief administrative officer, and West
Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who formally announced that the
building's third floor will house a branch of the Blanchette
Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute. This is the second building
for the campus, whose enrollment has grown from 800 students in
1988 to 8,000 today.

The recently dedicated
Academic and Research Building will add 49,000 square feet of
classroom and laboratory space to Hopkins' increasingly popular
Montgomery County Campus, which offers more than 40 part-time
undergraduate and graduate degree programs. |
