    Temple is building a new dorm complex that will have a highrise and lowrise that will total 1600 beds and will include a dining center and retail space on Broad with a court yard in the middle.

    Dude. Temple dorm. Temple's plans involve binging on dorm and hard-sciences research expansion, for the most part.

    Any plans or visuals of the site? I saw that there was another thread and multipal links to this info but nothing seems clear as to proposal of what it looks like or a time line.

    Temple has renderings all over their campus. I'll try to get you a picture soon.

    Stuff should leak out on Tuesday, as the Philadelphia Planning Commission is going to have a meeting on this(and other things).

    What more information could you possibly want dude? Not too much is known, even internally, about the new building(s) besides their location, approximate height, and the dining/retail accessories. I think they are putting a lot of work into making accessible rooms.

    Pfff, in the old days, we would have a bunch of renders, who did the renders, and different angles.

    By 2020, it will be a reality as the plan to have Oxford St from 15th to 11th totally redone.
