Big things are ahead for JWU Charlotte.

The university is renovating The Maple into a modern, 97,000-square-foot hub for student housing, admissions and essential student services — designed to support students from their first campus visit through graduation. The project will create new residential spaces, a welcoming Admissions Center, and a centralized home for academic success, financial services and career support.

This renovation builds on strong campus momentum, including new academic programs, our first Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates and rising enrollment. We’re excited to keep strengthening the student experience and growing our impact in Charlotte.

We anticipate re-opening The Maple in fall 2027. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this exciting project.
