Villanova University Neighbor Updates

Campus neighbors and local residents are advised that a section of North Ithan Ave. at Lancaster Ave./Route 30 will be closed Monday, June 29 through Friday, July 3 from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.

The closure will allow for the replacement of a portion of a steam line running from Bartley Hall to Jake Nevin Field House.

Key Details:

• From 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, there will be no through access for cars between Lancaster Ave./Route 30 and the main entrance to campus on Ithan Ave.

• After 4 p.m., there will be temporary metal plates put in place so that cars can drive normally along Ithan Ave. until work begins again at 7 a.m. the next day.

• The main entrance to campus on Ithan Ave., Wright Way and the Jake Nevin Field House parking lot will remain accessible from Ithan Ave. north of the closure via County Line Rd.

• Pedestrians will be limited to part of the sidewalk in the work area. Signs will be posted to provide guidance.

This plan has been developed in coordination with Radnor Township and PennDOT, and Radnor Police will be on site directing traffic at the intersection of Ithan Ave. and Lancaster Ave./Route 30. Detour signage will also be posted to assist motorists.

Calling all young artists and their families! Join us at the Villanova University Art Gallery on July 9th at 11AM for a morning of discovery and creativity.

We'll start with a guided look at the photography exhibition, Doubling with a Difference, where kids can explore how photographers play with repetition, pattern, and surprise. Then, step outside (sunshine permitting!) to try your hand at cyanotype printing with our Sun Kits - a magical, old-school photography process that uses nothing but sunlight to turn leaves and found treasures into awesome, blue-toned prints.

Kids will leave with their own sun print to take home and show off. If the weather does not cooperate, we'll send you home with the paper for another day of creativity. For kids 6 years old and over and their parents or caregivers, free and open to all. Feel free to bring a few small flat objects from nature (leaves, flowers, feathers) if you have them — we'll have extras too!

The University Art Gallery is located on the second floor of the Connelly Center, in the center of our Villanova Campus.
