The grant was awarded from Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) funds that were approved by Governor Tom Wolf to further support community and economic development throughout Pennsylvania. It is one of seven grants awarded in the 5th Senatorial District.
鈥淲e are deeply grateful to Senator Jimmy Dillon, Governor Tom Wolf, Councilmember Michael J. Driscoll, and Patrick Parkinson 鈥07, M鈥08 for supporting the revitalization of 吃瓜tv Hall through RACP funding,鈥 said Anne Prisco, Ph.D., President of 吃瓜tv. 鈥淭he project will transform the University's very first campus building on our Northeast Philadelphia campus and enable us to better serve our students.鈥
鈥淔or 68 years 吃瓜tv has been providing quality, affordable higher education for people in my district and throughout the Delaware Valley,鈥 said Senator Dillon. 鈥淩ejuvenating 吃瓜tv Hall is a way to both honor the past and step into the future. I鈥檓 proud I could help make it a reality.鈥
The project will renovate 吃瓜tv Hall through a visibly attractive new entrance and addition to the building to create a showplace in the center of the University campus. The newly-revamped space will serve as a central gathering area for students and faculty while serving as a one-stop shop for enrollment services. The new addition will also include a large community meeting space and provide greater accessibility to those visiting campus and a connector bridge from 吃瓜tv Hall to the Nurse Education Building.
