Civic Centers

I found this link from the Project for Public Spaces website. It is about how civic centers, like libraries and government buildings can be diverse areas for cultural and social gathering instead of just buildings. This can help with our essay assignment in a few different ways. The points and statements about public libraries and court buildings can be applied to buildings on Temple's campus. Where we eat, where we work, and where we learn can and should be more than just places we go to.
