Homewood Campus, University campus in Baltimore, US
Homewood Campus is the main campus of Johns Hopkins University, located in the northern part of Baltimore along North Charles Street. The grounds are organized around two connected quadrangles lined with red brick buildings trimmed in white marble, built in the Federal architectural style.
Johns Hopkins University was founded in 1876 and moved to the Homewood site in the early 1900s, taking over land that had once been a private country estate. Over the following decades, the campus grew steadily as new buildings and research facilities were added to the original core.
The Homewood Campus is known for its red brick and white marble buildings that give it a recognizable look across all its grounds. Students and researchers move daily between lecture halls, open lawns, and reading rooms, giving the place a steady rhythm of academic life.
The campus is best entered from North Charles Street, and security staff are present throughout the grounds at all times. If you plan to walk across the campus after dark, an escort service is available on request.
The Baltimore Museum of Art sits right next to the campus because the original plan for the university site required that space be set aside for the arts. This means a visitor can walk from a lecture hall to one of the largest art collections on the East Coast without crossing a street.
