Next Level Learning Tour

Since 1891, Drexel has offered academic experiences to its students that prepare them for the future. Drexel is known for a different approach to learning, and our traditional study and learning spaces are made for today’s college student.

1. Bloomberg Terminal Room
Our Trading Lab has 42 computers that have cutting-edge, industry-standard software. Students have access to financial news and research technology they’ll encounter after graduation. This is also home to the Dragon Fund, a student-managed equity portfolio of over $1 million.

2. Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building
For those taking science courses, the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building is home. From lecture halls to teaching labs, students work on their own research and alongside professors. Thanks to the passion and ingenuity of our students and professional staff, we've made groundbreaking discoveries leading to the creation of new ideas, products, and services in sectors such as public policy, energy, health care, education, and information technology. The Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building's biowall, the largest biofilter in North America, is not only beautiful, but also purifies the indoor air.

3. The Innovation Studio
The College of Engineering’s Innovation Studio at Drexel brings students from all disciplines together in a shared flow through space to collaborate on projects and transition their ideas into reality. In addition to the machine shop, which contains heavy machinery for advanced manufacturing of metal parts, there are woodworking equipment and 3D printers for students to work together and transform an idea into a fabricated, finished, and marketable product. This studio offers our faculty a different way to teach and our students a unique way of learning — by doing and creating.

4. Libraries
Since Drexel’s founding in 1891, we’ve had a library; in our first year, the library had nearly 8,000 volumes. Over the decades, a lot has changed. In addition to a different location, our collection of resources has grown immensely. Today Drexel has multiple libraries — four physical locations and a dynamic online presence — where students have access to over two million items.
