Loyola University Maryland is closing its Timonium Graduate Center at the end of the 2023-2024 academic year and moving all academic programs and administrative offices to other locations, the Baltimore university announced June 3.
The consolidation follows the expansion of facilities on Loyola’s Evergreen campus in Baltimore and the increase of remote learning and hybrid work, according to a news release. All academic classes that are offered in person will continue to be taught in person. Students taking online courses will continue to learn online.
“We’re working hard to use our space as thoughtfully and effectively as possible and ensure a seamless transition for our academic programs, students, and colleagues who work in Timonium,” said Terrence M. Sawyer, Loyola president. “Our goal is to meet our students where they are. We remain committed to that aspect of our Jesuit, Catholic mission moving forward.”
While Loyola works to consolidate space and achieve goals related to environmental sustainability, the university’s student body continues to grow. Two of the largest incoming first-year classes in Loyola’s history enrolled in the past two years, according to the news release.
Loyola’s academic programs concluded in Timonium on May 31, and moved to the Evergreen campus in Baltimore, including space at Belvedere Square. Loyola also serves students in downtown Baltimore, where the university offers Sellinger School of Business and Management classes.
As part of the closure, Loyola has partnered with CBRE, a commercial real estate brokerage, as the broker for the property. CBRE is expected to begin marketing the property this summer.
