Campus of Drexel University

The campus reaches: from Chestnut St. in the south to Powelton Ave in the north; and from the Amtrak rail yard in the east to 34th St. in the west.

In the 1960s the campus expanded greatly and several new buildings were constructed, mainly in the International Style, with orange brick facades.

Since then the University has bought nearly all the remaining buildings within the campus perimeter, and has adaptively reused many of them for academic and residential purposes; some of the more notable include the Rush Building, a former hospital that now houses the Drexel University College of Computing and Informatics and the Paul Peck Alumni Center, a former bank designed by Frank Furness.

The university has since built another wave of new buildings, primarily in the Modern and Postmodern styles, with metal and glass facades.

North of the Drexel campus lies the Powelton Village district, a neighborhood of primarily Victorian homes.

This is a research park presently consisting of 16 modern buildings along Market Street, and is expanding westward.

The buildings house labs, classrooms, and other operations of Drexel and the University of Pennsylvania, as well as hosting incubator spaces for startup companies and facilities used by 30 other stakeholders.

The main campus also includes Ross Commons, a remodeled old house converted for students' enjoyment to a restaurant, and meeting, leisure, and study space.

ThirtyOne41 in the Main Building and the Northside Dining Terrace, featuring a Subway, Chick-fil-A and Currito, on the first floor of Kelly Hall.

Non Drexel-owned food options include more than 10 lunch trucks, some spread out around campus and some on Ludlow St. behind the Main Building.

Drexel University announced it was closing the campus in the spring of 2015, though current students were allowed to complete their studies.
