The Freedom Forum plans sold the Newseum building in June 2020 to Johns Hopkins University for $372.5 million. Johns Hopkins University will renovate the former museum space and consolidate several of its graduate-level programming, anchored by JHU's School of Advanced International Studies. Transforming the former museum space into education uses will require significant reconfiguration of the building's floor slabs and facade changes to allow more natural light into the space. The renovations will not impact the Newseum Residences or The Source restaurant.
