Tyler School of Art and Architecture spent decades at Elkins Park, on the estate that Stella Elkins Tyler gave to Temple in the early 1930s. In 2009 the school moved to Temple's Main Campus in North Philadelphia, into a new building designed by Carlos Jiménez.
The building holds roughly 250,000 square feet (23,200 square meters) of studios and galleries, and houses the galleries and offices of Temple Contemporary. Its site beside Presser Hall and Temple Theaters created an arts quadrant in the northeast corner of the campus.
Architecture was not part of the move. It joined the school in 2012, in a separate 50,000-square-foot (4,650-square-meter) Architecture Building connected to the Tyler building by a passageway. The two buildings now work as one home for the school.
This building has no Wikipedia article. Facts come from Wikipedia: Tyler School of Art and Architecture.
