FYI: Community College of Philadelphia used this facility back in the early 1990s for their graduation (which is large), but has since held their commencement ceremony at the Mann Music Center. This facility has been problematic for our students with physical disabilities (and family members with such), but I was pleased to see the proposal for the structural changes on this list-serve awhile back.

(And, I don't believe that "any" have taken place there in the past 5 or possibly 10 years, since the facility was closed.) Penn hasn't used it for many, many years simply because it is way too small. I don't believe that Temple has ever used it, nor Textile, nor Jefferson. I don't think that Drexel or Pharmacy ever used it, but they might have. To the best of my knowledge, none of the Catholic High Schools in the City have ever used it. The Municipal Auditorium (Civic Center) was abandoned by the City of Philadelphia because it is too small for almost anything BUT a couple of the smaller, "large" graduation events. It was abandoned by Philadelphia Professional Basketball (long before the 76rs) for the same reason that Franklin Field was abandoned by the Eagles -- the facility was simply too small AND nobody could get to it without day long traffic jams (not to mention the lack of parking). ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
