Improvements to the physical plant continue at Wesley College in Dover, Delaware. Dr. William Johnston has led efforts to enhance buildings and grounds during his tenure.
New green space and gathering areas for students have been created. The addition of new walkways and open plazas have made the campus more friendly for pedestrians.
Renovation has begun on the 36,000 square-foot J. Allen Frear Federal Building. This addition to campus will serve as an education center fro the expanded Nursing program and health science area of study. The opening is scheduled for January 2014.
Plans are also underway for a new venue for all-campus events. The Center will be home for the basketball and volleyball teams as well as host a variety of intramural sports and student activities.
The new student enrollments numbers for Fall 2013 are also encouraging. The College experienced a six percent increase in applications for admission while the number of newly enrolled students climbed by five percent.
