La Salle University has received a $3.5 million grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to apply toward campus reinvestment.

La Salle President Daniel J. Allen, Ph.D., announced the University’s receipt of the grant in his Inauguration address on Oct. 28. Awarded through Pennsylvania’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), the grant will help fund investments in infrastructure and facilities to enhance the campus experience for students, including in the areas of health and wellness.

Pennsylvania administers RACP grants through its Office of Budget and specifically for “regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.” Multiple phases will follow the awarding of the grant from the Commonwealth, with additional details from the University to be announced at a later date.
