A continuous building program has characterized the last decade of growth at Palm Beach Atlantic University. In January 2007 the first phase of the state-of-the-art 62,000 sq ft (5,800 m2). Warren Library was dedicated. The second phase was completed in December of 2009 and is a total of 86.000 sq ft (7.9897 m2). The building is named after Dr. Donald Warren, who served as the first chairman of the Board of Trustees for 38 years. The university has extension campuses in Orlando and Wellington offering adult and graduate degrees.

A new campus with outdoor athletic fields and a new athletic exercise and administration building will be constructed. Located at the former historic Hillcrest neighborhood less than two miles (3 km) from campus, the 90-acre (360,000 m2) campus will be completed in 2010. The University purchased the parcel, located between I-95 and Parker Avenue just north of Southern Boulevard, for $3.1 million from Palm Beach County.
