At the 2006 convocation Drexel University president Constantine Papadakis announced a , three-story addition to the existing Daskalakis Athletic Center. The project, now an addition, broke ground in June 2008.
It is anticipated that the university athletic teams, the Drexel Dragons, will be moved over to a recently acquired and soon to be renovated Armory building and that the DAC will be used exclusively for recreational activities.
