THE MAIN CAMPUS IN SCRANTON
The growing demand for the courses and services offered by Lackawanna College and the need to offer these programs at a centrally located site compelled the College in recent years to expand its facilities.   For Lackawanna to meet the challenge of providing quality education to an ever-increasing number of students and providing technologically advanced resources for a steadily multiplying range of programs, the relocation of the main campus in Scranton became necessary.  This objective was accomplished in 1996.

Lackawanna College secured the optimum location to satisfy its diverse needs -- the former Central High School Building in downtown Scranton.   In 1994, the College purchased this elegant, expansive structure and began a multi-million dollar renovation program aimed at restoring Central to the architectural splendor that it had displayed in the past.   The ornate details, stately atmosphere, innovative legacy and intellectual heritage of the school help define the tradition of Lackawanna College.  Although the renovation preserved the historical character of the public spaces in the building, the classrooms themselves are now prepared for the ultimate in high technology equipment.   The renewed Central reflects its 19th Century origins in appearance and its 21st Century potential in its educational facilities.

In 1999, Lackawanna College renovated the elegant theater on its main campus and renamed it the Mellow Theater. This historic performing arts facility is utilized for College functions and is home to many of the area's arts organizations. Music, dance and dramatic presentations have all been featured in the comfortable 1048-seat theater, which is air conditioned for year-round use.

In conjunction with additional space the College acquired and the resources provided by such neighboring institutions as the Albright Memorial Library, the Scranton Cultural Center and the Catholic Youth Center.  Lackawanna College's main campus maximizes learning opportunities for students of every age, academic level and interest.
