Morgan momentum and campus revitalization continues its ascent with the development of a new Health and Human Services Building, which commenced in Fall 2019 with concepting and design by architectural firm HOK. The modern facility, situated across from the Morgan Business Center and Martin D. Jenkins Hall – Behavioral and Social Sciences Center, will provide state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, and demonstration, office and community spaces for the School of Community Health and Policy, the School of Social Work, the Center for Urban Health and Equity, and the University Counseling Center. The building will be located on the former site of Turner’s Armory, which was recently demolished in 2020. Baltimore-based Barton Malow will manage the construction, with completion expected in 2024.
