Geneva College Opens New Entranceway

Geneva College has not had a main entrance to its campus since the college opened its doors in 1848. That changed the week of May 11, when a new entry, marked by a 60-foot-long arched gateway leading to a four-lane boulevard, opened at Route 18 and 31st Street in Beaver Falls, Pa. The new front door for the college opened in time for commencement ceremonies May 14-16.

The boulevard leads to a wide roundabout, which provides access to adjacent roads and all drivable points on campus.

The project will continue with the construction of a tree-lined pedestrian walkwaynd an expanded Alumni Hall parking lot. The project is expected to be completed by this fall.
