The Eisenhower Parking Deck
will close from Monday, July 12, through Friday, July 16. It’s part of an already-scheduled cleaning process that will scrub the deck from the roof to the ground level.
The Lion Shrine, meanwhile, will close on
July 13 and 14 for ongoing maintenance. The shrine most recently underwent a month-long scheduled maintenance project in June that wrapped up in the first week in July.
In a statement, Penn State’s Office of Physical Plant apologized for any inconveniences the impromptu maintenance may cause.

Penn State visitors hoping to snag a photo with the iconic Nittany Lion Shrine or the sign/stone wall near Beaver Stadium will need a backup plan for at least a month this summer.
Both the Lion Shrine and the sign, which welcomes visitors with the words “Pennsylvania State University,” will essentially be closed from June 1 to around July 1 depending on the weather so both campus landmarks can undergo necessary renovations, the university announced.

The Nittany Lion Shrine and Pennsylvania State University sign behind Beaver Stadium will close for about four weeks starting June 1. A new walkway will be installed outside the shrine, while renovations at the Pennsylvania State University sign will provide accessible walkway upgrades and new landscaping.
The Nittany Lion Shrine will be fenced off to the public throughout the renovation period, which is set to end around July 1. Work at the famed landmark largely includes replacing sidewalks and platforms with new concrete.
Renovations to the Pennsylvania State University sign at the intersection of East Park Avenue and Porter Road will include a new sidewalk with “greater accessibility” for visitors. Penn State will also remove a few dead and diseased trees nearby to keep landscaping looking sharp.
Thanks to a
new feature from the Penn State Go mobile app, you finally can. As long as you’ve upgraded to the newest version of the app from the App Store, it’s pretty easy to get the stickers in action.
A Penn State logo should appear over your iMessage keyboard. After you tap on it, the stickers will quickly be available to either send as a message or drag over someone else’s text. They’ll work as intended when sent only between iPhones, but you can still send them as images to Android users.
There are currently 10 stickers and two GIFs available to send. From a classic Old Main or Lion Shrine picture to a bittersweet graduation tassel turn, the app’s got you covered.
