Walking through Hayward Hall on the campus of Philadelphia University is like entering a time tunnel. You are immediately struck with a sense of the history and knowledge in textile manufacturing and design that this school was built on.  Then you are swept into the 21st century at the sight of our new Biomedical Textile Structures Lab.

Students in one studio design the styles that define fashion.  One floor below, industrial design students create the next generation of products aimed at improving our quality of life and, down the hall, our one-of-a-kind nanofibers structure loom weaves complex medical platforms to support stem cell development for cutting-edge medical applications.

Past, present and future…Philadelphia University.
