Campus Square, located on Packer Campus at the intersection of Morton and New Streets, opened in August 2002 to provide students with more on-campus housing and integrate Lehigh more effectively into the South Bethlehem community. The plaza of buildings opens out to South Bethlehem and includes an apartment complex that houses 244 upper-class students in two-, three- and four-person apartments; a parking garage; the university bookstore; The Cup, an ice cream shop operated by the Bethlehem Dairy Store; Johnny’s Bagels and Deli; and Mail at Campus Square, the university’s official post office. A central courtyard welcomes everyday socialization and can be reserved for special events.
On Thursdays from May through October, Campus Square hosts the Bethlehem Farmers’ Market, which features local produce, baked and handmade goods, lunches and live music.
In October 2015, Campus Square will be dedicated Farrington Square in recognition of the contributions of Gregory C. Farrington, Lehigh’s 12th president.
