== Campus ==

La Salle's 133-acre campus in Germantown provides suburban atmosphere within city limits, with historic buildings and mature landscaping creating collegiate character. Major facilities include Olney Hall, the Connelly Library, the De La Salle Chapel, and the Tom Gola Arena. The campus has evolved through construction campaigns adding academic buildings, residence halls, and athletic facilities that modernize the physical plant while respecting architectural traditions.<ref name="lasalle"/>

The Belfield Estate, a historic property adjacent to campus, includes buildings and grounds associated with artist Charles Willson Peale, connecting La Salle to Philadelphia's colonial and early national history. The campus's Northwest Philadelphia location, while presenting accessibility challenges, provides residential character and parking availability that Center City campuses lack. The neighborhood setting integrates university with surrounding community in ways that shape student experience and institutional identity.<ref name="lasalle"/>
