Open House held for Visualize Temple

Students and faculty met today with representatives from Smith Group, the design consulting firm in charge of developing a plan for Visualize Temple, in Mitten Hall to discuss their own ideas for a new campus profile.

More than 175 people showed up for the event, said James Creedon, senior vice president for construction, facility and operations, from as far away as Temple’s Harrisburg Campus.

Students sat down at a variety of round tables to speak with representatives from Smith Group and write down their ideas on a variety of topic-related white boards, Creedon said.

One of the most popular discussion areas, Creedon said, was transportation, where many students submitted ideas about more biking options on campus.

“It is like an extension to the Visualize Temple website, but with a little bit more interaction,” Creedon said.

Creedon said that administrators have not yet gone over the results from the event, and thus had not yet determined if it yielded any ideas not yet discussed on the website launched in May.

This is the second time Smith Group has come to Main Campus to meet with students and faculty about Visualize Temple. In May, they met with Student Government, athletics and other groups.

Yesterday, they met with the Faculty Steering Committee which includes Provost Hai-Lung Dai and President Neil Theobald.

Prior to this afternoon’s event, Smith Group met with the Council of Deans. Tomorrow they will meet with administrators to discuss items related to the new library, now set to be built east of Broad Street.

Creedon said that today’s event, held from noon to 2 p.m., was meant to provide a “more general open house” atmosphere.
