Football practice facility to undergo expansion

Posted on by

The recommendation for a $9 million Edberg Olson football expansion project, which plans to expand the football practice facility at Diamond and 11th Streets, was approved at the Board of Trustees meeting today.

Edberg-Olson Hall and its complimentary practice field was designed for the football team’s use and dedicated in 2000. Currently, the 23,600-square-foot building contains team and coaches locker rooms, a weight room, a training room, equipment facilities, coach’s offices, observation balcony, a player’s lounge, computer lab, individual position meeting rooms and a theater-style team meeting room.

The funding and financing source is reportedly from the Plant Fund.

New student-housing project secures funding

While some Philadelphians think it’s time for students to get outta town (or the neighborhoods near Main Campus, at least) others think it’s time to develop new housing for those good-for-nothin’ kids.

A new $20 million student-housing project at 10th and Diamond streets has secured financing to break ground in October, a report by the Philadelphia Business Journal states.

The new project by Orens Brothers Real Estate Inc., Mosaic Development Partners and Metamorphosis Community Development Corp. will have 92 units and 12,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, according to PBJ.

The project, near the Edberg-Olson football practice field, is expected to complete work next year.
