PHILADELPHIA - Temple University will break ground this month on a new Student Health and Wellness Center—an academic, athletics and recreation facility that will provide enhanced space for students in the College of Public Health to hone their clinical skills along with space for students to play recreational sports and weight train.
The centerpiece of the facility is the main entrance, angled toward the intersection of 15th Street and Montgomery Avenue. A two-and-a-half-story glass atrium will greet pedestrians, who will enter the facility beneath a portion of an outdoor track that serves as a balcony above the main doors before returning to ground level around the perimeter of the building.
