You’ve probably heard by now that the first building at The Science and Technology Park at Johns Hopkins opened today after a ceremony honoring businessman (and contributor) John G. Rangos Sr., the building’s namesake.

The 278,000-square-foot research building, at 855 North Wolfe Street, will house life science research companies.

A new branding campaign for the New East Side was also revealed…

And you know what a new branding campaign brings: pastries!

(Well, technically real estate reporter Robbie Whelan brought them).

From the release:

“The Science + Technology Park at Johns Hopkins is one component of the transformation that is happening on the New East Side,” said Jack Shannon, President and CEO of East Baltimore Development Inc. “With new senior and workforce housing now available and job development training taking place, the community is ready to meet the growing demands of current and future tenants of the Park.”

The New East Side project will provide 850 new residential units in mixed-income housing for new and returning residents and graduate students as well as offer new life science, office and retail space. A new K-8 community school and open spaces are also planned.
