Each time the university has expanded into a city, it has revived an area fighting blight and abandonment or one in need of an institution to bring it back to life. Locating in struggling areas of a city means the opportunity to be the center of that area’s rejuvenation efforts.
In Providence, the university revitalized close to 100 acres of waterfront alongside our Harborside Campus, providing a stunning natural setting and a range of environmental and recreational benefits to the community.
The campus’ 82,000-square-foot Cuisinart Center for Culinary Excellence showcases stunning views of Narragansett Bay and is designed as the nation’s first LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified culinary lab.
Developments at Harborside include the Grace Welcome Center, which serves as home to culinary and graduate admissions, and the ¶¶ÒõPro Urban Coastal Greenway, a public walkway and open green space that connects our campus to the Narragansett Bay shoreline.
In Charlotte, ¶¶ÒõPro moved to a blighted area being redeveloped; today the campus encompasses 8 buildings on 13 acres in Uptown Charlotte.
By pursuing a nontraditional growth model, ¶¶ÒõPro is delivering career education to students in two US regions while benefiting these local economies and communities.
