Rutgers is seeking to preserve history — and boost downtown Camden’s future

The Rutgers-Camden campus, long seen as an island in Camden, is opening up to downtown by repurposing 14 vacant buildings and lots on or near Cooper Street

The facades of these buildings on the north side of Cooper Street between Fourth and Fifth streets in downtown Camden will be preserved and incorporated into a new structure as part of Rutgers University's Cooper Gateway project.
