WELCOME NEW MEMBERS Misericordia University breaks ground for Frank M. and Dorothea Henry Science Center Misericordia University recently broke ground on the new $45 million, 85,900 square-foot Frank M. and Dorothea Henry Science Center, the largest academic building on the more than 124-acre campus. The comprehensive Henry Science Center features a deliberate mix of classroom space, technology, and teaching and research laboratories. Its concept began in 2016 when the Misericordia University Board of Trustees committed to the multi-year project to expand learning and research opportunities for students and faculty. Built in 1957 and renovated in 1988, the existing building was designed to accommodate 800 students on a campus now serving close to 3,000 students. The groundbreaking ceremony marked the beginning of construction on the new three-story 57,400-square-foot wing, which will take about 18 months to complete. Renovation of the existing 28,500-square-foot science hall will commence in June 2020, with completion of the entire Henry Science Center ready for the beginning of the fall 2021 semester. Hospice of the Sacred Heart recently received a $2,000 grant from the Scranton Area Community Foundation to support its Lunch & Learn program. The monthly series is a free information session accompanied by lunch and is held at the Hospice of the Sacred Heart Center for Education in Moosic.
