From what I understand, yes! The View II complex is actually the 2nd phase of the redevelopment of the former John Wanamaker High School site. Construction of the entire complex is expected to be completed in time for the Fall 2019 semester.

Alright cool. I go by here all the time getting between classes and my dorm so it's been nice to see work get started.

And we have a tower crane base! It appears that Templetown should be getting its second tower crane before the years ends!

Speaking of Temple development, what's the story about the new library, I haven't seen or heard anything regarding that in a long time.

I'll take some pics between classes and post them in the General Developments section tomorrow (there's actually a ton of developments happening on campus at the moment). Basically, the superstructure is complete. Construction crews actually hoisted the final beam into place before the end of last semester. From what I've seen, they're beginning focus on interior work more intensely. It is estimated to open during the Spring 2019 semester at last check!
