The Drexel Planning, Design, and Construction organization have posted a new and updated compilation of renderings in the 2007-2012 Drexel University Master Plan.
The PDF contains rendering for 11 new projects, including the three slated to begin this year, the expansion of the Daskalakis Athletic Center, the 34th Street dormitory, and the integrated sciences building.
The DAC expansion shows that there will be a large portion added on the south side, bringing the DAC right to Market Street. The integrated sciences building is quoted as replacing Stratton Hall. The 34th Street dormitory shows that there will be a one story street presence which will contain a health center and other retail, and will take the place of the Kelly parking lot.
The PDF also shows a rendering for the Natrona Street residence, slated to take the place of the Language Center and the accompanying parking lot, the seven-story building slated to take the place of Matheson Hall (and it looks like they enclose the A.J. Drexel statue in glass), the expansion to the Academic Building, replacing the space taken by Drexel Pizza and a parking lot, retail expansion along the front of Creese and MacAlister, showing a glass walkway, the renovation of the armory, a west wing to the Rush Building, a new parking garage where a current parking lot is next to the Hess Building (to replace all of the surface lots which are being built on), and a proposed hotel and conference center.
