                     Transforming the Campus Landscape   Beginning in May 2011, the Villanova University community launched the Transformation of the Campus Landscape initiative. This bold, three-year project is part of the implementation of the University Strategic Plan and Campus Master Plan. By modifying the layout of the campus grounds, this initiative will improve the quality of life for Villanova community members and enhance the visitor experience. The planned modifications aim to create a carefully-designed campus core that is highly integrated, vehicle-free, pedestrian-friendly, more accessible to people with different mobility needs, and more aesthetically beautiful. This park-like, vehicle-free model of campus-core architectural landscaping is quite common at universities nationwide, including those that Villanova counts among its peers.   Please RSVP by 4:00 pm, August 3 using the following link:
