Foundation work is progressing at the new library for Temple University in Philadelphia. The 225,000-square-foot building will stretch across one city block and stand four stories tall at the center of the university’s Main Campus. It is being built at the former site of Barton Hall and will provide study spaces as well as learning and writing centers and a food-service area.
The library’s innovative design is an integral part of the university’s “Visualize Temple” initiative to construct exciting new academic spaces, athletic facilities, renovations and upgrades that effectively change Temple from a commuter campus to a more residential campus.
