Glen Alden Bldg.
The University of Scranton has become
the owner of the Glen Alden
building, Jefferson Ave. at Linden St.,
according to a joint announcement
made last week by the Very Reverend
Aloysius Galvin, S.J., University president,
and Frederick Goess, president
of the Prudential Savings Bank of
Brooklyn, N. Y., former owner of the
structure.
University and bank officials have
signed a $157,000 agreement of sale
for the six story, L-shaped building.
Filing of the deed was expected shortly
after the announcement.
Commenting on the purchase, Fr.
Galvin indicated that the building
will enable the University to meet
needs, as they develop, for faculty
offices, additional classrooms, supporting
administrative services and conference
rooms.
"With recent additions to faculty
and administrative staff, we are already
beginning to feel a need for
some additional office space," he said.
"Acquisition of the building will enable
us' to make space available for
this ando ther purposes, as it is gradually
needed." The building will require
some improvements and essential
repairs, according to Father Galvin.
. University officials describe the
transaction as a "fine opportunity" to
acquire substantial square footage at
a reasonable cost. They regard it as
a "handsome structure and believe it
blends well with the overall style and
dignity of other campus buildings."
The Glen Alden building boasts
some 45,000 square feet of space. Bell
Telephone of Pennsylvania, United
States Fidelity and Guaranty and
other business organizations now occupy
parts of the building.
Father Galvin said "Due to existing
vacancies in the building, it is not
now foreseen that there will be a
need in the near future for the University
to use space currently occupied
by tenants. In fact, office space will
