2024: Johns Hopkins University purchased The Academy at 3700 North Charles Street for the purpose of providing space for JHU sophomore students while the on-campus residences are completely rebuilt.
Current Residence Halls on Homewood Campus
There are 4 residence halls. The oldest was built in 1923 and all need to be replaced. All freshman and sophomore students attending JHU are required to live in campus housing and are not allowed to have cars on campus.
2024-2025 and 2025-2026: The (JHU) Academy (3700 N Charles Street):
NO CHANGES: Currently houses 340 upper class students in 4-bedroom apartment type suites. This will continue during 2025-2026. G&M, the former owners, will continue to manage the building as they do now.
2026-2027: TENTATIVE PLANS FOR TRANSITION YEAR
220 sophomores who would normally live on the Homewood Campus residence hall will live in The Academy. Some of the upperclass students will be allowed to remain at The Academy during this transition year.
Construction on the first residence hall will start in summer/fall of 2026. Sophomores who would normally live in that building will live in The Academy beginning August 2026 and will remain there for one year. The following year another group of sophomores will live there.
