Carey’s new neighborhood at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Johns Hopkins Carey Business School’s new location at 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW is already pretty well-known. From 1997 until it closed in 2019, it was home to the Newseum. This stunningly remodeled state-of-the-art place for learning, convening, and collaborating is in a class of its own, but it also has some pretty impressive neighbors.

Embassy of Canada
Just next door to Hopkins in D.C., the embassy serves Canadian citizens visiting and living in the United States. Extra fun fact: Carey Business School Dean Alex Triantis is a native of Canada.

National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden

Right across the street is the extraordinary home to more than 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, prints, decorative arts and more, founded as a gift to the United States by former Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon in 1937. Sharp eyes will notice that the Tennessee pink marble that lines the Hopkins in D.C. property is from the same quarry as the stone outside the gallery.
