When you look around Temple s campus, the growth can t be hidden. The site for the soon-to-be library could be mistaken for an archeology site, nearly taking up an entire city block.

For the library, the end product will be stunning but at Temple, bigger doesn t mean better. Some of the most impressive projects, although described proudly as tiny, are created by student innovation.

Over the past two years, Temple University s Office of Sustainability partnered with a number of academic disciplines to design a sustainable tiny house for the student-run Temple Community Garden at Diamond and Carlisle streets.
