We’re building on our shared momentum in Towson through development, engaging experiences and core commitments to our community.
Dynamic Development
Towson University is invested in a number of building development projects, both on- and off-campus. Not only are we creating additional opportunities for our students, we’re expanding resources the entire community can utilize for research, academics, business growth and recreation. In addition to TU’s on-campus construction, the university has also taken ownership of properties in uptown Towson to offer more resources to more people, and to deepen the connection between campus and community.
