With the support of an $8.4 million New Jersey Higher Education Capital Facilities Grant, Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J., is reinvigorating its campus through several modernizations and improvements in the coming months.
In August 2025, the State of New Jersey announced that $250 million in capital grant funding is being committed to higher education facility upgrades. The grant aims to address deferred maintenance while improving infrastructure across public and private colleges, including county colleges.
Last month, the state awarded $244.4 million for 92 projects across 23 institutions, including Seton Hall University. Funding will be directed toward infrastructure overhauls throughout the campus.

This funding is distributed through two key programs, the Higher Education Capital Improvement Fund (CIF) and the Higher Education Facilities Trust Fund (HEFT). CIF designates $110 million for four-year public and private institutions to support renovation, construction and technology upgrades. HEFT allocates $140 million for both public and private institutions, including county colleges, to enhance communication, laboratory, instructional and communication facilities.
Seton Hall and its students will begin seeing the results of these investments as early as fall 2026.
