Temple 20/20

Temple 20/20 is a reconfiguration of Temple University's Main Campus, centering the university around Broad Street and including the development of several new projects including a new student and community library, lawn, science building, and residence hall.

Temple's proposed Signature Building on North Broad Street

Temple's attempt to improve its relationship with Broad Street is a hopeful attempt to improve its relationship with North Philadelphia, and help improve North Philadelphia itself.

New Mixed Use Residence Hall Complex

A library available to the public, shopping and restaurant spaces for private retail, and parking are some of the additions to Broad Street aimed at both campus life and the North Philadelphia community.

Expansion and renovation of Pearson and McGonigle Halls

Temple will not be expanding into the neighborhood, but rather remaining the same size and growing in height, adding excitement to the North Philadelphia skyline.

Old News Worth Repeating

Temple University broke ground on the new building to serve the school's Architecture Department. The building is 45,000 square feet and complete the North Broad Main Campus's mini-arts quad, along with the Tyler School of Art, the Boyer College of Music and Dance, and the School of Communications and Theater.

The building was designed by H2L2 (Stamper Square) and will be completed by Fall 2011. It is part of Temple's "Temple 20/20" redevelopment plan. Additionally, Temple is expanding and renovating its McGonigle and Pearson Halls, and developing a new residential and retail project at Broad and Oxford.
