In August, Villanova’s new Cabrini Campus will open following two years of updates and renovations designed to create a cohesive and inviting extended home for students, faculty and staff. In addition to academic spaces, the much-anticipated 112-acre addition to the University includes a mix of residential, dining and recreational experiences. A standout feature—and sure to be a popular hub—is the 100,000-square-foot Dixon Center and Nerney Pavilion, which houses an indoor pool, basketball courts, fitness centers and a suspended running track. Upon entering its atrium and community space, visitors are met with an immediate sense of belonging and school spirit, thanks to thoughtful touches throughout, including a Villanova-blue wall featuring elements that capture what it means to be a Wildcat.
