Morgan State University proudly celebrated the grand opening of its new Health and Human Services Center this week. The university unveiled the six-story, 208,000-square-foot facility, which took nearly three years to complete and cost $171 million, during a ceremony attended by students, faculty, alums, and local officials.
Located at the southern entrance of the main campus, the HHSC will house the School of Community Health and Policy, the School of Social Work, and the University Counseling Center, among others. This marks the sixth ribbon-cutting ceremony this semester, highlighting Morgan‘s ambitious development initiatives.
A Center Designed to Enhance Education & The Community
Chairman of the Board of Regents, Kweisi Mfume, emphasized the importance of the Center in addressing health disparities, particularly in underserved communities like Baltimore. “This building is more than a building. It’s a building with a very succinct, real, and necessary purpose. And that is to help the overall wellness of our community,” Mfume stated.
