Johns Hopkins Transforms Old Museum into D.C. Academic Center

Johns Hopkins University has opened a new academic center in Washington D.C. after a $275 million renovation of the former Newseum building. The university plans to launch a School of Government and Policy within the next few years, alongside its School of Advanced International Studies. The center will provide a prime location for Hopkins to expand its presence in the nation's capital and offer programs focused on climate, sustainability, technology policy, economics, and finance. The move follows a trend of out-of-town universities establishing campuses in Washington D.C. to engage with government and related topics.
