In a meeting with the Inquirer Editorial Board, Temple University President Ann Weaver Hart disclosed details of the $1.2 billion expansion of Temple's Main Campus, saying the size of the university's footprint in North Philadelphia will not increase. The project includes a 1,500-bed residence hall, a $48 million renovation of the Pearson and McGonigle Hall sports and fitness complex, a new architecture building and a science education and research building. "What we are working on is to bring more of our students into the urban center of our campus, which is Broad Street," Hart said.
