South Campus Gateway
Wilkes University announces a $3.5 million South Campus Gateway initiative. The three-part project includes improvements and additions that will transform Wilkes and the streets bordering it into a park-like campus in the heart of the City of Wilkes-Barre. The project combines University resources with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Department of Community and Economic Development funds to improve pedestrian safety, alleviate traffic congestion and beautify the campus and surrounding neighborhood.
Wilkes University President Patrick F. Leahy said the South Campus Gateway will make the campus safer and more attractive, increasing Wilkes’ unique appeal as a university that offers programs comparable to a large, research university in the mentoring culture
