    A Pathbreaking Project on North Broad

    Temple is transforming education with a
    state-of-the-art facility for the Klein College and the Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts.

The Klein College of Media and Communication
and the Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts 

The Klein College of Media and Communication and the Center for the Performing and Cinematic Arts are two of Temple University’s hallmark programs. But these renowned institutions have outgrown their outdated facilities, limiting their ability to provide the world-class education for which they are hailed. Soon, they will have a new home, as Temple builds a state-of-the-art, transformative building on the west side of North Broad Street.

Housing the Klein College; Temple Student Media; the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts, and Temple University Opera Theater, the new building will foster creativity, collaboration, and connection with our surrounding community.

We’re not just building walls, we’re building futures.

As plans for the new building develop, we invite you to check back often for updates and new renderings in our photo gallery.

This is a pathbreaking project both for Temple and North Philadelphia. This new, state-of-the-art facility will provide resources and opportunities that will prepare a more agile and adaptable workforce of future journalists, communicators and performing artists. It is also an opportunity for us to further our engagement with the North Philadelphia community in a way that we have not done before.
