VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY
CAMPUS TRANSFORMATION
Villanova continuously seeks to enhance its thriving living and learning environment to better serve its students now and in the future. Over the past ten years, the campus has been transformed by capital projects including new academic and community spaces, residence halls, dining venues and athletic facilities. This vision has been realized as a result of thoughtful planning, community input and generous support from our alumni, families and friends. Villanova's Strategic Plan and Campus Master Plan will guide the continued evolution of campus spaces.
Villanova University Cabrini Campus Opening in 2026
Villanova University’s new 112-acre Cabrini Campus will open in August 2026, providing the opportunity for the University to enhance its programs and commitment to advancing Catholic higher education. This addition will support all aspects of campus life, providing a space that nurtures a true living and learning experience in Villanova’s Augustinian Catholic tradition.
Looking Ahead: A New Campus Centerpiece
Falvey Library at Vic Maggitti Hall
Located in the heart of Villanova's campus at the current site of Kennedy Hall, Vic Maggitti Hall will become the new front door to the University’s academic community. The new Vic Maggitti Hall will enable Falvey Library to have an even greater impact on the Villanova community and will serve the University’s long-range goals as a world-class institution.
