Campus Overview
In the wake of a 2007 Master Plan, a constant stream of construction trucks have transformed this Philadelphia campus, not only aesthetically but also academically and athletically. There is the Papadakis Integrated Science Building, the URBN Center for the College of Media Arts and Design, and a new home for the Lebow College of Business. The new Daskalakis Athletic Center houses a resurgent basketball team and impressive new fitness facilities. Drexel will continue to celebrate this renaissance in the years to come as it continues to build itself into a leading city university.
