“The combination of housing, a fitness center and dining option will provide an active and animated presence in this area throughout the day. It also complements our ongoing work to beautify the Mulberry Street corridor from Jefferson to North Webster avenues.”
Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., President of The University of Scranton.

"With the apartments, fitness center and dining options- this project is focused on the entire individual, their health and their well-being.  In other words, cura personalis - care for the entire person.  The plans revealed today are certainly in line with our Jesuit identity.
