Loyola Opens New Community Center on York Road to Serve Neighbors

All hands on deck for good news on York Road! Loyola University Maryland cut the ribbon October 14 on the new Loyola Community Center at 5104 York Road — and the whole neighborhood’s invited aboard.

The renovated building houses the university’s Center for Neighborhood Resilience with 2,500 square feet of new office space, plus a multipurpose venue for community clinics, youth workforce programs, and the PATH Community Fair. It’ll also host a Baltipreneurs Accelerator entrepreneur and the York Road Partnership. Backed by more than $1.2M in federal and state funds plus foundation grants, the project keeps sailing: a neighboring building is slated for sustainability and food-equity renovations, including the Govans Farmers Market and a Community Fridge.
