CCP aims new housing at international students

Community College of Philadelphia introduced plans this week to develop a residential tower for international students on the perimeter of its main campus.

The housing project is expected to provide a full campus experience for students, shifting away from the normal routine of students attending classes but commuting back and forth from home.

“The 15th and Hamilton Project symbolically marks the college’s commitment to a bold, new direction as student engagement and experiences become the hallmark of our operations,” said Linda Wallace, director of communications. She called the move an “imperative in today’s global economy.”
