Camden residential street with construction. Scaffolding in front of buildings on left side of street. Housing on the right side of the street. Street parked with cars.
Looking down N 3rd Street toward Lawrence St, there's a constuction site (gym addition) with a pile of cinderblocks on the left, and a parking lot on the right. A Red car is street parked at a meter in the foreground. Business and Science Building is in the background, to the right.
Because of a lack of funding and opportunities, Camden has not had much culture (meaning art, theater, history, community engagement). However, with the help of Rutgers, new performances are starting to pop up, and will eventually move to the soon-to-be-built auditorium.

Courier-Post readers write in about the Rutgers sit-in, with three writing against its demands and one for them. One writes that she expects her daughter to be reimbursed for the three days of class she missed while the university was shut down, and another writes that those who are morally outraged about the protests should also have been outraged when Rutgers bought up people's houses to use as campus areas.
The new building, not named in this article, is set for dedication on the coming Tuesday, with a ceremony including open house tours of the building by students and a performance by the symphony in the campus center. The article mentions that this is part of a greater expansion planned for the campus in the future.
The school's extension, which will be used for the law school and a library, has started construction. It mentions future plans for the urban renewal project.
A tall red brick building, Camden Tower, is photographed from a height, through tree branches. Between the photographer and the building, there is a short brick building which appears to be under construction.
