On Friday the University announced the shocking news that they have ended the relationship with the primary developer for the East Campus project Folger-Pratt/Argo.

East Campus Gets Its Own Stimulus Package

April 21st, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in East Campus

February 21st, 2009  |  by Clay Gump  |  published in East Campus

Not surprisingly the developers of East Campus are having trouble getting financing together so the project is now on hold. Vice President for Administrative Affairs Ann Wylie tells us “Don’t lose heart.”
Well if it took decades to tear down the Starlight Inn I guess we can wait a year or so. I for one am optimistic [...]
