<p>I haven’t been paying attention. What are UDel’s plans for this property and the enormous building currently on the site?</p>
<p>Here are some excerpts I copied from the article:</p>
<p>The University’s preliminary analysis suggests likely candidates for early inclusion on this campus are UD’s emerging research partnerships with the Army, the Delaware Health Sciences Alliance, and several University research centers and institutes. </p>
<p>Some day classrooms, laboratories and research facilities will occupy this site and serve as catalysts for economic development and incubators for discovery.</p>
<p>Concept development plans for the property are focused on creating a research and technology campus.</p>
<p>They are also planning transit development due to the proximity of the rail line. This link shows a map of proposed development. You can click on the map to zoom in.
