I followed the Science Center since I was an undergrad at Penn in the late 90's. Science Center has its heart in the right place, but the factional ownership structure - dozens of universities, from UD to Lehigh, with the largest being Penn, with single digit ownership, is the fatal flaw.

They have had plans, like the ones for 36th Street for decades. Never been built. Not sure if they will ever be built by the Science Center.

What is painful is the University City High School part. I thought there was a lot of juice behind it, especially with Drexel involved. But I'm getting the impression that Drexel's priority is with the Innovation Neighborhood / Schuylkill Yards and this has become a secondary development.

You need to read the tea leaves.
