Campus Construction Update đźš§

Progress continues across campus as we advance key projects designed to enhance our facilities and support our academic mission. From final touches on athletic spaces to major infrastructure shifts at our newest sites, each development reflects our continued investment in the Holy Family University experience.

At the Metz Family Fieldhouse, we are checking off final punch list items, including the addition of 20 lockers to accommodate our expanding teams and the installation of new medical and training equipment. Nearby at the Holy Family Hall Welcome Center site, significant progress is being made with basement excavation and the installation of footings. This phase included required utility relocations and the demolition of existing structures to set a strong foundation for this future campus hub.

In Newtown West, the Biotech project is shifting into high gear. With interior demolition and site prep work well underway, we are looking forward to beginning roof work in the next few weeks. We are also pleased to share that signage installation in the Cub Cafe is now complete. Simultaneously, the Newtown West Courtyard continues to take shape as block work moves forward and material loading remains in progress.

Looking toward the future, planning remains active for the First Gen Center and the Nursing Education Building (NEB), where we are refining designs to include modern huddle spaces and optimized mechanical systems. Additionally, the Library is preparing for a summer rearrangement to make way for future furniture upgrades.

Stay tuned for more updates!
