Updated 10:32 PM;
Penn State is inching closer to spending $228 million on the construction of West 1, a new engineering building that would become one of the largest academic facilities on the University Park campus.
The board of trustees’ Committee on Finance, Business and Capital Planning unanimously voted to recommend approving the move to the full board, which is expected to formally OK the plan Friday. West 1, also known as Engineering Research and Teaching Space 1, will be 290,000 square feet or nearly 40% larger than Smeal’s Business Building.
STATE COLLEGE Stuckey Mitsubishi soon will have a new home.
Stuckey Mitsubishi, part of the Stuckey Automotive Group which opened in College Township in July 2020, is in the process of purchasing the Centre Daily Times building at 3400 E. College Ave.
“In 2019, we were afforded an opportunity to expand our operations to the State College area. To our good fortune, the College Township council was there from the beginning to generously give their support and guidance,” President Matt Stuckey said. “Now, we look to the council once more for their approval on our plans to breathe new life into a once-thriving location that will serve as our permanent location. Pending permit and planning approval, we will finalize our plans and begin work immediately.”
