History

The main Newtown campus is located on a former estate that Bucks County acquired in very early 1965 from Temple University, which had inherited it from Stella Elkins Tyler, a wealthy benefactor, only two years before. Administrative offices are housed in the George F. Tyler Mansion. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

In May 2006, construction began adjacent to the original Bristol campus to build two new buildings that added and permanently house more classrooms and laboratories. Part of the new Bristol Campus opened in the Fall semester of 2007, and the second section was completed in Spring of 2008. This facility is now known as the Lower Bucks Campus.

In spring 2010, a new green building was added to the Upper Bucks Campus in Perkasie.

Some notable graduates include Steve Capus, Anthony Fedorov, Patrick Murphy and Terri Schiavo.
