State of the art Facilities

Villanova continues to be a university on the move with its dramatic transformation of campus. The University’s many reimagined campus spaces have enhanced a thriving living and learning community that serves the needs of Villanovans today, and well into the future. The University’s recent capital projects have included new residence halls, dining venues, academic and community spaces and athletic facilities. This vision has been realized as a result of thoughtful planning, community input and generous support from alumni, families and friends.

The campus, a place that so many call home, is a true reflection of Villanova’s Augustinian values of living with one another in community, pursuing knowledge collaboratively and dedicating service to others.
