JOHNS HOPKINS: EPIC WIN
January 6, 2011
| There must be something in the water (or maybe the textbooks) at Baltimore universities. Johns Hopkins received a $30M gift for a new building at its Homewood campus this week, about a week after the University of Maryland?s BioPark got $65M in bond financing for a new lab (but you knew that after reading us on Tuesday). |

| Liberty Media Corp CEO and JHU alum John Malone made the donation. Malone Hall (named after Utah Jazz star Karl Malone, we presume) will be a 56k SF complex housing both the infrastructure-focused Systems Institute as well as a cutting-edge individualized health program. We're told the total cost of the project is $35M, with no word on where the additional $5M will come from (something tells us with friends like these, JHU won't have a problem covering the spread). The university has yet to select an architect and is shooting for LEED Silver certification. |
