New construction of a 1,750 sf commuter lounge, located at the corner of Berks and Warnock streets, for use by students, faculty and staff of Temple University. Its close proximity to various modes of transportation makes the lounge a convenient spot for all to use while waiting for classes, buses, trains or rides home. The space is near the SEPTA Regional Rail station, the Montgomery garage and SEPTA bus routes, including the 23 bus, which stops at 12th Street (southbound) and 11th Street (northbound) at Polett Walk.
Highlights of the space include WiFi, monitors displaying SEPTA’s Regional Rail train schedules with real-time updates, comfortable lounge seating, tables, and two large flat screen televisions for both gaming and television viewing with adjacent amphitheater-style seating. Also included are a kitchenette with microwaves and sink, restrooms and lockers.
