New South Campus Dorm Complex

[huskymedic]

My daughter is a freshman at Temple and her suite consists of 4 girls, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room and a full kitchen replete with a full-sized refrigerator. They used to have large flat screen TVs but the kids trashed them and the school just said no mas to that amenity.

Morgan Hall?

I think this one will have lounges, common rooms, lounges, game room, cafeteria, seminar rooms etc. as well as dorm rooms.

I believe this new one is going to have suites rather than traditional dorm rooms.

Well, funny you should say it looks like a county incarceration facility. This is the old county jail nearby where I live. It is old and being demolished.

My brother went to Columbia for grad school in their international affairs department. If you've ever been to the Columbia campus, basically every building is stunning... except for his. Every day he had to walk to this soviet cold war era monstrosity, but to his point, at least he didn't have to look out the window and see this, while everyone else on campus did.

The dorms around Whitney Hall have charm

So it looks like they want to drop it between the current south campus dorms and Gilbert Rd. That's a shame.

Sigh, that’s a whole lot of ugly yellow brick.
