Connection
The URBN Center will become Drexel University’s hub for creative minds to
gather, share ideas and work together to bring those ideas from the
mind to the page, and into the world of tomorrow.
The Robert Venturi-designed building is being transformed into a bold new
center for imagination and high-end production. With the intention of
sharing the URBN Center with the community, students will enjoy
newfound collaboration with industry professional in addition to other
Drexel schools and colleges.
Collaboration
The URBN Center will be the new home for programs in the Antoinette
Westphal College of Media Arts & Design including Animation, Architecture,
Arts Administration, Design & Merchandising, Digital Media, Entertainment &
Arts Management, Fashion Design, Game Art & Production, Graphic Design,
Interior Design, Music Industry, Product Design, and Web Development &
Interaction.
