Delaware State University to Close One Campus But Open Another
Filed in HBCUs on May 10, 2013
Historically Black Delaware State University has announced that it is closing its branch campus in downtown Wilmington this summer. The university will move its Wilmington operations to a former U.S. Army Reserve building in Milltown outside the city. The building was given to the university for free but Delaware State has allocated $2 million for renovations.
The university estimates that it will be able to generate $7 million in additional revenues over the next 10 years at the new location. In addition the university will achieve cost saving by moving from the downtown location.
