Edge contract not renewed

Posted on by

The university will not renew its contract with the Edge Student Village this year, in anticipation of the opening of 1,275 at Mitchell and Hilarie Morgan Hall this fall, Associate Vice President of Student Life Michael Scales said.

The university has renewed a one year contract with the building’s company Campus Living Villages every year since the Edge opened in 2006, Scales said.

The university leased roughly 750 beds from the complex, which sits one block from campus at 1601 N. 15th St.

Students will still have the opportunity to rent from the Edge, but will no longer be able to do so through the university’s Residential Life system.

Univeristy Housing and Residential Life sent out a mass email to students living in Main Campus residence halls Wednesday night, warning of impending thunderstorms and heavy rain.

The email advised students living in those residence halls to close all windows to help seal out the wind and rain, minimizing water damage.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch and wind advisory for Philadelphia County for the night of Jan. 30, extending into early Thursday morning, with heavy rains and gusts of up to 50 mph.

Students in need of help are encouraged to call Campus Safety Services at 215-204-1234 or the Temple Weather Hotline at 215-204-1975.
