Morgan’s 10th President Dr. David Kwabena Wilson

Dear Future Morganite, Welcome to Bear Facts, your gateway to the excellence, innovation and enduring spirit that define Morgan State University. As Maryland’s largest Historically Black College or University and the state’s Preeminent Public Urban Research University, Morgan stands proudly at the intersection of access, achievement and transformation.

We are a university on the rise. Last fall, Morgan celebrated its fifth consecutive year of record enrollment, surpassing 11,500 students for the first time in our history. That growth speaks volumes about the quality of our programs and the confidence students have in the Morgan brand.

Complementing our demographic growth is the ongoing expansion and modernization of our campus. Morgan continues to invest boldly in the student experience with the construction of a new Science Center, a transformational facility designed to foster cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary collaboration. And with the opening of The Enolia, our newest residential community, along with the reimagining of Harper-Tubman House and the construction of new on-campus housing planned through 2027, we are proud to welcome a new era of reimagined student living at Morgan.

Our momentum is felt in the marketplace: Morgan recently secured a $1.75-million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to plan the launch of a public, nonprofit M.D. medical school: a groundbreaking advancement toward expanded access to medical education and reduction of health disparities.

The world has taken notice: LinkedIn named Morgan among the Top 10 HBCUs in the nation; our faculty led a historic pavilion at the Venice 2

MORGAN Architecture Biennale; our historical documentary about Morgan earned an Emmy Award; our Magnificent Marching Machine performed before millions in the Tournament of Roses Parade and our scholars continue to shine as Fulbright awardees.

At Morgan, excellence is a tradition. Our students have earned recent first-place victories at MIT’s Hack the Climate Hackathon and at a national innovation venture competition, where they secured a $100,000 top prize.

Our faculty and researchers propelled Morgan to more than $100 million in research commitments received last fiscal year, a milestone that brings us closer to achieving Carnegie R1 status.

To those considering joining our Bear family: your journey to greatness can begin here. Leaf through these pages, and acquaint yourself with the National Treasure: Welcome to Morgan — where we grow the future, to lead the world.

Sincerely,

David Kwabena Wilson, Ed.D., President david.wilson@morgan.edu Scan QR Code to Meet Morgan’s 10th Inaugurated President Coffee With President David K. Wilson MORGAN.EDU

University Projects Academic Buildings

Artist’s concept(s); subject to change*

New Science and Research Center The University recently unveiled designs for a new Science and Research Center designed by Moody Nolan, Inc., the nation’s largest African American-owned architecture firm. The cutting-edge facility will be equipped with the latest technological features for advanced instruction and very high research activity. The eight-story, 246,000-gross-square-foot structure will primarily serve as the home of Morgan’s School of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences (SCMNS) Biology and Chemistry programs and the SCMNS dean’s office. It will also house labs, tutoring centers and collaboration/ideation spaces. The new Science and Research Center is slated to open in Fall 2029, situated near the corner of E. Cold Spring Lane and Stadium Way, across from the current Richard N. Dixon Science Research Center.

New Health and Human Services Center Opened in Fall 2024, the new Health and Human Services Center is the latest facility added to Morgan’s evolving campus. The state-of-the-art academic building provides advanced classroom, lab, demonstration, office and community spaces for the School of Community Health and Policy, including Nursing, Public Health, Pre-Professional Physical Therapy, Nutritional Sciences and the Prevention Sciences Research Center; the School of Social Work; the Medical Technology program; the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences; and the University Counseling Center. The building’s location at the northeast corner of Argonne Drive and Hillen Road, across from the recently developed West Campus, forms the southern gateway to our campus.

MORGAN Artist’s concept; subject to change

Student Housing and Residential Facilities O’Connell Hall Tower Morgan’s full-sail effort to increase contemporary on-campus student housing to meet the demand of both existing and forecasted enrollment increases is being realized.

The comprehensive plan includes constructing three new residential facilities on campus by the fall of 2026 and renovating all remaining legacy housing facilities over the next seven years. Two of the three new residential facilities in the plan, Thurgood Marshall Hall and Legacy Hall, have been opened. The third of this series calls for the demolition of O’Connell Hall and its replacement with a newly constructed multi-level residential unit. The new O’Connell Hall Tower will include contemporary apartmentstyle accommodations and amenities like those featured in the recently constructed Thurgood Marshall and Legacy Halls. To be constructed in the same space O’Connell now occupies, the reimagined residential facility will house approximately 600 (up from 205) and is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2027.

Thurgood Marshall Hall

Thurgood Marshall Hall and Legacy Hall In collaboration with the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO), the University has welcomed a new era of reimagined and modern student living at Morgan. Delivering more than 1,270 new beds in modern accommodations, two multi-level towers, Thurgood Marshall Hall and Legacy Hall, were opened in Fall 2022 and Fall 2024, respectively. This residential community offers several floorplans, comprising singles, semi-suite doubles, double rooms and apartmentstyle units. Other featured amenities available to students include a Wellness and Counseling Center, three lounges per floor, fitness centers on alternating floors, collaborative-learning spaces and app-based laundry rooms on each floor.

Convenient, all-you-can-eat modern buffet dining is available at the Thurgood Marshall Dining Hall, adjoining the residential facilities at the ground level, featuring 13 food stations and an assortment of culinary experiences and dietary choices.

Legacy Housing Renovations and Modernizations

Cummings Renovation Meeting Space-Fireplace

Cummings House

Baldwin Hall

Cummings House and Baldwin Hall The first of Morgan’s legacy buildings to be fully modernized were Cummings House and Baldwin Hall, located at the center of the main campus on Morgan Commons.

Both facilities underwent significant overhauls, including complete interior renovation.

Reopened in the fall of 2024, Cummings House and Baldwin Hall present prime examples of the University’s commitment to reimagining student living and transforming legacy “dormitories” into residences featuring the latest in living amenities, energy efficiencies and advanced connectivity. Comparable to the newly constructed residence halls, Morgan’s renovated student housing also features well-equipped fitness centers, wellness rooms, collaborative learning spaces and more.

*Artist’s concept; subject to change

Harper-Tubman House The home of the University’s Clara I. Adams Honors College students, HarperTubman House, will be the next legacy residential hall to be fully reconditioned, with replacement of all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems. In addition to the complete interior renovation of the building, the entry area of HarperTubman House will be demolished and reconstructed to provide a new appeal and welcoming experience. Maintaining its current number of beds when completed and reopened, Harper-Tubman will offer contemporary living accommodations and added features to its 222 Honors student residents, including an additional study/learning area, collaborative learning spaces, a “calming” area, a fitness area, wellness rooms and a picturesque, redesigned courtyard. Harper-Tubman House is slated to reopen in Fall 2026.

Five-Year Projects In addition to the aforementioned modernizations, the University is moving ahead with plans to renovate several other facilities and legacy buildings on campus. These structures include Holmes Hall, Truth Hall and the Carter-Grant-Wilson Building, which is scheduled for transformative work in 2026–27.

Long-Term Projects (Five-Plus Years)

The former Lake Clifton High School property, Baltimore, MD

MSU Campus Expansion: Lake Clifton Redevelopment To bolster our status as an anchor institution with plans to physically grow the University’s footprint, Morgan has acquired the approximately 58.9-acre site of the former Lake Clifton High School from the City of Baltimore. Nearly doubling the University’s size, the parcel of land, located less than 1.5 miles from campus, will be significant in addressing Morgan’s need to expand beyond its current campus radius.

The 20-year master plan and vision for the property include the development of a multipurpose convocation center, a research/innovation facility, graduate/family student housing, other educational facilities, and retail and mixed-use properties.
