The Priorities

Priority: Buildings & Renovations
Goal: $924 million (26%)

Within their walls we conduct pathbreaking new research, forge lifelong friendships, enter undiscovered intellectual worlds. As diverse in style as they are in age, they give our campus its unmistakable character and identity. They are our buildings, the epicenter of living and learning at Penn.

Securing support for the construction of new facilities and the renovation of existing ones is our single largest campaign priority in terms of dollars. The role of state-of-the-art, welcoming, and inspiring spaces in the creation of knowledge and exchange of ideas cannot be overstated. The best facilities power the potential of technology-intensive fields, attract top-notch students and scholars, and enhance the overall quality of life and work at Penn.

Making History will invest strategically in the physical plant of the University, carrying out the first steps in our Penn Connects plan and equipping Penn with the 21st-century campus our students, faculty, and staff need and deserve.
