| Capital Campaign Projects Transform The University of Scranton Campus |

| The University of Scranton’s 118,000 square-foot Patrick and Margaret DeNaples Center, opened in January of 2008, became the City of Scranton’s first LEED-certified building. The center features ARAMARK’s “Fresh Food Company,” the University's book store, Starbucks and other retail dining operations, a fireplace lounge, a 260-seat theater, ballrooms, meeting rooms and a uniquely designed Student Forum that encourages collaboration by shared common space and equipment. |

| The University of Scranton broke ground in May 2009 on the largest capital project in its 121-year history – an approximately 200,000 square foot unified science center that incorporates today’s most innovative science teaching techniques into a dynamic, modern design that includes inviting spaces for student/faculty collaboration, visible glass-walled laboratories and the efficiencies of using shared instrumentation. The center, designed to maintain Scranton’s tradition as a teaching/learning community, will serve the university’s departments of biology, chemistry, computing sciences, physics/electrical engineering and mathematics as well as several interdisciplinary programs, including neuroscience and biochemistry, cell and molecular biology. |
