YouthWorks at Johns Hopkins University

We’ve lived in Baltimore all of our lives but have never stepped foot on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus – until a few weeks ago. The buildings are beautiful and the grounds are very pretty and well-maintained. Our two tour guides (shown here) who are students here, showed us a few of the classroom buildings such as the Whiting School of Engineering. (They’re really good at walking backyards). We saw Garland Hall, which houses university President Ronald J. Daniels’ office, and Mason Hall, the main admissions building. We also saw the Milton S. Einsenhower Library and Gilman Hall, the university’s flagship building whose historic interior and exterior is nearing the end of a massive renovatiion.  As Alex Peters, a junior honors student at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, said after the tour, “I wouldn’t mind going to Johns Hopkins.”
