Hopkins in D.C.

Johns Hopkins University established a new, high-visibility academic home in the heart of Washington, D.C., with the opening of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in the summer of 2023. Located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave., along one of the nation’s most iconic thoroughfares and just steps from the U.S. Capitol, the Hopkins Bloomberg Centerpositions JHU to inform and convene key decision-makers and to amplify the significant real-world impact of our research and scholarship.

The building is home to D.C.-based graduate programs from our School of Advanced International StudiesKrieger School of Arts and SciencesCarey Business School—and, soon, our new School of Government and Policy.

The building offers dramatic views of the Capitol and features modern, configurable spaces that welcome trusted academic experts, global leaders, newsmakers, and policymakers. This is where Hopkins students and faculty transform knowledge into impact, where cutting-edge research informs evidence-based policies to benefit global democracy and the future of our world.

Since our School of Advanced International Studies officially became a part of the university in 1950, Johns Hopkins has maintained a presence in the nation’s capital, combining international politics, economics, and foreign language in an innovative curriculum for current and future leaders in government, civil society, and the private sector.

The opening of the Hopkins Bloomberg Center begins a new chapter for Johns Hopkins in Washington, D.C., one brimming with the promise of unique student experiences, unprecedented opportunities for learning and leading, and the potential to bring the benefits of discovery to the world.
