New Web Site Provides Information on PennConnects

The University of Pennsylvania launched a new Web site devoted to its PennConnects program: http://www.pennconnects.upenn.edu/index.php. Penn Connects is the University's 30-year campus development plan to redefine Penn as a premier urban research university. By expanding the campus to the east, Penn replaces a 24-acre industrial zone with new vibrant uses that will transform the campus and create new opportunities for teaching, research/clinical practice and student life. The University, for the first time in history, will establish a major physical presence along the Schuylkill River corridor, create new gateways and establish new connections with surrounding communities, and build stronger physical links between the campus and Center City.
