I gotta say whoever had the vision to buy that school, onboard the students and programs that are quite unique (and professionally focused) to Hawk Hill with the idea of creating a new development project like this is a genius. Clark Park is a desirable area and the U Sciences campus is within the umbrella of UPenn and near the life sciences spaces in U City that carry the most expensive rents in the city. Lab space can be repurposed for venture backed startups. New commercial office space can be developed for G&A and HQ space for venture backed startups. Residential spaces can be developed near Clark Park so life sciences professionals can walk to work and enjoy the benefits of living on/near an Ivy League campus and near all that Philly has to offer. An absolute genius move by the Chair of St Joe's and whatever other team members made that happen.

Might be a genius move, from a business standpoint, if SJU ultimately makes money on the decisions to buy and sell-off U. Sciences. Just not sure it is the best PR move for SJU.

Fair enough, Glitter but thanks to the Maguires, they have a lot of nice open land to build on the Montgomery County side of City Line. New labs, classrooms and dorms to be built for pharmacy life sciences students there versus Balto Ave seems like a plus when it comes to attracting students. The proceeds from the U Sciences deal should cover that. Also makes it easier to manage and provide security there.

From a Roman alumni email I just received "On Thursday, February 22, RCHS began its initiative of inviting university presidents to speak specifically to their accepted students in Roman's senior class. Roman thanks President Daniel Allen of La Salle University, and his Staff, for speaking to our students, handing out swag, and informing our guys about the great opportunities La Salle offers. In addition, President Allen announced that every Roman Catholic High School student who has been admitted will receive an additional $1,500 scholarship if they enroll at La Salle! Our immense gratitude to La Salle University for joining us and kick starting this initiative!"
