DeSales University to Open New Downtown Allentown Location
DeSales University is cutting the ribbon on a new location in downtown Allentown.
The University will host a grand opening celebration for DeSales Allentown on Thursday, March 23, from 11:30 a.m. to noon at 932 Hamilton Street. University officials, including Father James Greenfield, OSFS ’84, Ed.D., president of DeSales, will be joined by local business leaders. Representatives from Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk and Sen. Nick Miller’s offices will offer remarks. Tours of the new location will follow the ribbon cutting.
“This is a mission-forward endeavor for DeSales University. DeSales Allentown is about improving access to quality educational services and cutting-edge skills training. This partnership has the power to transform individuals, families, communities, and businesses.”
The new location will serve as a hub for educational partnerships between DeSales and Allentown residents and business leaders. Features include flexible lounge, office, and conference spaces for meetings and classes, events and networking, and presentations and training. The building is also equipped with modern technology, including Wi-Fi, large visual displays, projection, and multi-function printing and scanning.
“We’re thrilled to welcome DeSales to downtown Allentown,” says Jarrett Laubach, City Center’s director of leasing. “To have one of the region’s best universities come to Allentown will provide convenient access for people pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees, many of whom already live and work in downtown Allentown.”
