Our commitment in the early 1990s to stay, invest and grow in Providence has proven to be a major factor in the city’s widely acclaimed renaissance. JWU purchased the defunct Outlet department store, cleared the land and developed a large campus green space and accompanying residence halls in the heart of the Downcity area. Now, more than 10,000 students contribute to the cultural and economic vitality of the once 9-to-5 business district.
