Temple University
- Facilities

Temple's 20/20 = +A

Temple is in the process of renovating a large part of their campus. They have completed the new sports recreation center and the new Architecture building (my major). They are in the process of more projects, probably some that the students do not even know about. For their existing buildings, the facilities are great. The student center amazing. With hundreds of computers and different areas designated to certain majors (such as music), a computer is never too far away. The library is also astounding with its great staff and large variety.

Practical Buildings

Temple's main campus is designed in a fairly straight forward manner with a practical mind set. Though some of the architecture is quite pleasing to the eye, most of it is designed for functionality. There are many trees around campus and decorative flowers that also bring the campus to life somewhat. The only issue is that some of the buildings are rather old, and the heating and cooling systems not always entirely reliable. Even then, it is to a minor degree, and still quite usable. This is evidence to me that money is spent in the interest of education, rather than aesthetics, which is how I feel it should be.

Sick Activities

We have several athletic centers, our biggest is the Liacouras Center, where most of the basketball games are held. The library and tech center are near the middle of campus for easy access to everyone. Campus activities and free give away are always going on on campus. They really get the student body interested and involved.
