Offices Open In Philadelphia
Leased Campus First Step in Permanent Home for Institute
Philadelphia, Penn. - The John Jay Institute officially opened its offices in Philadelphia on February 14, 2011. Located at 306 Bala Avenue in the Bala-Cynwyd area, the Institute is making ready for its next class of resident fellows on a three and one-half acre leased campus complex.
The incoming JJI class will be the first to study in the "Metropolis of the American Founding." Their accommodations will include a 9,800 square foot manor house with supporting facilities. The century old "Victorian shingle" style home contains sufficient space for both student housing and educational programming. The campus also affords administrative offices and staff housing.
"The Bala campus is a wonderful provision for the Institute, said Alan Crippen, President. "It's more than adequate for our current student housing and programming needs, and the surrounding area is beautiful with all the kinds of places attractive to students. The facility is a great place for our initial organizational footprint in Philadelphia."
A campus open house and other welcoming events are being planned for the spring and summer months. The JJI's new contact information follows:
