The building, which was dedicated in 2010, is, for many, the first impression of Penn State Behrend. Campus tours depart from its two-story lobby.

“Students need different forms of support at different points in their college experience,” Ford said. “Bob and Sally Metzgar’s longtime giving has provided resources and promoted opportunities at every step in that journey. The college is deeply appreciative of their steadfast support.”
The Metzgars’ philanthropic support of the college and Penn State dates to 1972, when they first donated to the Levi Lamb Fund, which provides scholarships and other support to more than 800 varsity student-athletes.
