It’s an exciting time to be a part of the
GMercyU community. With the addition of
East Campus and the construction of our
new Loop Road and walkways complete,
the future is full of innovative and endless
possibilities.
CAMPUS ENHANCEMENT
PROJECT
Gwynedd Mercy University celebrated
the completion of its Loop Road
Project with an official Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony on October 3.
The Loop Road Project is a part of the
University’s “Pathways to Success”
initiative, launched to promote
multimodal transportation and increase
safety on campus. The University was
awarded a $1 million grant through the
Commonwealth Finance Authority’s
Multimodal Transportation Fund to
complete the project.
The new Loop Road and walkway
now connects GMercyU’s Admissions
House and Alexandria Hall, one of the
University’s four residence halls. In
addition, a new pedestrian walkway was
added along the campus’ Assumption
Drive, providing a quick and safe
walkway to and from the Admissions
House, the Hobbit House, and the
campus core.
The project also included the closing
of a section of Assumption Drive to
vehicle traffic and transforming it into
a grassy oasis for students, faculty, staff
and visitors to enjoy. A new rain garden
between Assumption Hall and Connelly
Faculty Center now efficiently drains
rainwater into nearby soil.
