Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, though probably best known for its excellent medical and pre-medical education, actually has top-shelf scholars in all academic disciplines, including sociology and family studies. Carlos Silvera, one of our Texas Tech graduate students in human development and family sciences, did his undergraduate work at Hopkins and he was kind enough to share some photos he took of the campus. Depicted below is the Homewood Campus, specifically.

I want to note from the beginning that some of the buildings look alike to me and few have their names shown, so it is possible that I have misidentified one or more of them below. I have tried my best, however, to use multiple sources (e.g., campus maps, photos on the Internet, Google Earth) to learn the correct names of buildings.

A university's main signage is always a good place to start...

 

Gilman Hall, described by one website as "Arguably ... the central landmark of the Homewood campus" and home to humanities departments, is one of many Hopkins buildings featuring a cupola at the top...

Next, what looks like Gilman appears in the distance...

Shriver Hall features a performing arts center...

...whereas the Wyman Park Building is a former hospital and current office building...

A couple of buildings look really nice amidst the greenery of trees and lawns. Immediately below is the Homewood Museum. Its interior and history are presented here.

The next one could not be identified, but fits in beautifully.

Mason Hall, home to the Visitors Center, presents some interesting architecture...

Finally, what appear to be study areas are very ornate...
