==Campuses== {{Main|Campus of Drexel University}} [[File:QueenLaneCampus.jpg|thumb|The Queen Lane College of Medicine Campus]] Drexel University's programs are divided across three Philadelphia-area campuses: the [[Drexel University Main Campus|University City Campus]], the Center City Campus and the [[Drexel University Queen Lane Campus|Queen Lane College of Medicine Campus]]. ===University City Main Campus=== The {{convert|77|acre|ha|adj=on}} University City Main Campus of Drexel University is located just west of the [[Schuylkill River]] in the [[University City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|University City]] district of [[Philadelphia]]. It is Drexel's largest and oldest campus; the campus contains the university's administrative offices and serves as the main academic center for students. The northern, residential portion of the main campus is located in the [[Powelton Village]] section of West Philadelphia. The two prominent performing stages at Drexel University are the Mandell Theater and the Main Auditorium. The Main Auditorium dates back to the founding of Drexel and construction of its main hall. It features over 1000 seats, and a [[pipe organ]] installed in 1928. The organ was purchased by [[Saturday Evening Post]] publisher [[Cyrus H. K. Curtis]] after he had donated a similar organ, the [[Curtis Organ]], to nearby University of Pennsylvania and it was suggested that he do the same for Drexel.<ref>[http://www.drexel.edu/univrel/new/alumnimagazine/fall_2004.pdf Drexel Legends and Traditions] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110103201458/http://www.drexel.edu/univrel/new/alumnimagazine/fall_2004.pdf |date=January 3, 2011 }}</ref> The 424-seat Mandell Theater was built in 1973 and features a more performance-oriented stage, including a full [[fly system]], modern stage lighting facilities, stadium seating, and accommodations for wheelchairs. It is used for the semiannual spring musical, as well as various plays and many events.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ucityphila.org/cityguide/go/294 |title=Mandell Theater at Drexel University |access-date=March 6, 2007 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070306072608/http://www.ucityphila.org/cityguide/go/294 |archive-date=March 6, 2007 }}</ref> ===Queen Lane Campus=== The Queen Lane Campus was purchased by Drexel University as part of its acquisition of MCP Hahnemann University.
