URBN Center
Designed to be an incubator for tomorrow’s creative leaders, the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design’s new URBN Center reflects Drexel University’s commitment to provide students with rigorous, studio intensive instruction with the latest technological resources.
The URBN Center will enhance Drexel’s ability to serve students and community. Through expanded modern classrooms, studios and galleries, the URBN Center will allow Westphal College to multiply its academic offerings while fostering interdisciplinary collaborations across Drexel’s top-ranked colleges and schools.
The URBN Center will also provide larger facilities for the Pearlstein Gallery, the Drexel Historic Costume Collection, the Charles Evans Fashion Design Library as well as additional space for student exhibitions and theater performances.
Today, Westphal College is poised to empower a new generation of innovative leaders to realize their dreams. Your support is vital to move their dreams forward. Become a part of the URBN Center transformation today.

Construction progress is viewable including photos and updates that keep you apace with the URBN Center's rapid progress, with fast-tracked schedule to be completed in time for us to occupy the building in September 2012.
