Join the Coppin Heights Community Development Corporation and Baltimore Heritage for presentations and discussion on the reuse and revitalization of the 1876 historic Asylum. CSU is committed to reusing the historic building for academic and community use to complement the expansion of CSU’s Health Programs at the Lutheran site.
