Penn State set to approve $228M engineering building, the first part of a West Campus revitalization
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.
