Biden Hall to open on UD campus in 2029

A new building at the University of Delaware, named for former President Joe Biden, will serve as an interdisciplinary hub for the social sciences. Biden Hall will be located on the South Green, between Morris Library and Robinson Hall. Once it opens in fall 2029, it will be the first new building on The Green since Gore Hall and an expanded DuPont Hall opened in 1998 and 2002, respectively. UD officials are referring to it as “the final planned building on UD’s iconic Green.” “It’s the job of this university to help students make sense of the world around them — to prepare students as it prepared me to get engaged,” Biden said in a prepared statement. “Biden Hall will be a place for students to answer for themselves and for this country: Who are we? What do we stand for? What do we believe? And maybe more importantly: Who are we going to be?” UD officials broke ground on the building during a private ceremony Monday, which was attended by the former president, according to a posting on the university’s marketing website. Members of the media were barred from covering the event. The three-story, 30,000-square-foot Biden Hall will house
