New College House On Hill Field
March 18, 2013 at 12:17 pm
In case you missed it, Penn has been buzzing with news about a new college house on Hill Field. The new building, which will include a dining hall, music practice rooms and lounges, will start construction in January and be ready in fall 2016...when only the frosh will still be here. This six-floor paradise will fit 350 Quakers of all ages. Is it just us or does Hill not seem that far away when it has air conditioning?
The money is almost raised, except the casual $50 million that it takes to get the house named after you. But, who the hell has that kind of money laying around?! Oh right... Penn alums. Picture it: "Going to grab din at Sternberg!" or "Meet me in the Wang lobby!"
To all the people applying to the high rises in Inter-House Room Selection this week, hang in there! You'll pull through. Or, you'll be stuck living in Gregory next year and wishing that this project would start now.
