The 52 buildings on the University’s 100-acre campus range from historic Victorian mansions to contemporary classroom, library and residential facilities. The latest additions – The Kanbar Campus Center, a 72,000 square-foot social hub for students, faculty and staff, and the new Athletic and Recreation Center have transformed our main campus and will have a dramatic impact on the academic and social environment for all members of the University Community. The Tuttleman Center, a 31,500 square-foot, high-tech academic facility, is fully wired and offers students and faculty access to the most sophisticated technology available.
The tree-lined Main Campus is located on the edge of Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park in the beautiful residential area of East Falls, 15 minutes from historic Center City Philadelphia. Today over 50 percent of the University’s students live in on-campus housing, including co-ed and single-sex residence halls, town homes and two- or three-bedroom apartments. And about 25 percent live in off-campus housing close to the University.
The Philadelphia University campus is wired with a sophisticated network directly to the desktop providing campus-wide file-transfer capability, personal directories, email and high-speed Internet access. The campus’s advanced technology also provides voice mail and cable television to anyone living in the residence halls or townhouses.
The Gallagher Athletic, Recreation and Convocation Center is home to three regulation-size basketball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, aerobics studio, racquetball court and elevated jogging track, as well as a 251-space underground parking garage. In addition, Athletic facilities on campus include a baseball field, softball field, soccer and lacrosse field and tennis courts.
Philadelphia University is also home to The Design Center and The Philadelphia University Research Center.
