Belward

The 108-acre Johns Hopkins Belward Research Campus is located 3/10 of a mile from the Montgomery County Campus at the intersection of Darnestown Road and Muddy Branch Road in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

The university is in the process of creating a mixed-use campus that brings together university, government, and private research on Belward.

As the campus develops, it will become a community amenity featuring  a town square with restaurants and other cultural and recreational destinations. In addition, more than 40% of the campus will be preserved as open space in the form of parks, forested areas, and wetlands.

University planners envision a neighborhood-friendly development that would look like:

The Belward Research Campus development will follow the guidelines set forth in the reat Seneca Science Corridor Master Plan.  To that end, a university representative is actively involved in the Great Seneca Science Corridor Implementation Advisory Committee as planning continues.
