Our beautiful 287-acre campus is located in Towson, Maryland and is comprised of approximately 1,100,000 square feet of classroom, office, residential, and recreational space. We are always looking for ways to make our facilities better and to improve the way our community learns, works, and plays. 

Recent & future projects

Scheduled to open in Fall 2027, the Judy C. Lewent Science Center '70 will be a state-of-the-art 44,000-square-foot building that will create an interdisciplinary learning environment for faculty and students' hands-on research. 

Over the past decade, the college has celebrated the completion of the First-Year Village, Mary Fisher Dining Hall, and the Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’62 Tennis Center. 

Campus master plan

The Campus Master Plan (CMP) identifies areas for investment in existing structures and landscapes and looks to the future of education and pedagogy by illustrating a coordinated approach to growth and consolidation aligned with Goucher’s priorities.

The CMP is guided by planning principles rooted in inclusion, exploration, community, sustainability, and design excellence. The plan’s vision reinforces existing campus districts, bolsters Van Meter Highway as the campus life corridor, creates a campus heart focused on engagement, integrates sports and recreation into campus structure, promotes inclusion and accessibility on campus, and creates a healthy, sustainable, and resilient campus.

Architectural history

Goucher College’s architectural legacy is linked through stone buildings that are the center of both the historic downtown campus, begun at St. Paul and 23^rd streets in 1885 and which moved to the sylvan Towson campus in the mid-forties to mid-fifties. The old Goucher Historic District was entered on the National register of historic places in 1978 where 18 of the original buildings were listed. The Towson campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 because of its architectural and planning importance in the development of campus planning in the United States. It was one of the first campuses plans in the country that was based on the principles of modernism (more Prairie Style than International) and emphasized keeping the natural rolling topography of the campus and using materials from the area vernacular.
