Hopkins breaks ground on ambitious $1.2 billion project

Marking what hospital officials are calling the most ambitious redevelopment in its 117-year history ? and one of the largest single health care construction projects in the United States ? Johns Hopkins Medicine unveiled details Monday about its new East Baltimore Medical Campus.

“Medical miracles cannot aspire in buildings built for 19th-century medicine,” said William R. Brody, president of The Johns Hopkins University. “These buildings will be the proving ground for a new era of discovery.”
