Connelly Center

The Connelly Center—a 67,000 square foot facility—includes multiple lounges and seating areas designed for individual and group use. Fondly known as the “campus living room,” the Connelly Center serves as the central hub and gathering space for the Villanova community.

Dining options within the building include a sushi counter, Nova Noodle Co. offering ramen, pho and other noodle dishes, and a Wawa convenience store providing coffee, essentials and grab‑and‑go meals and snacks.

The Connelly Center also houses several event and community spaces, including the Villanova Room, Emily C. Riley Commons and the Cinema, which support a wide range of university programs, meetings and student activities.
