Architect Named For McKeesport Student Union
July 14, 2000
University Park, Pa. — After a feasibility study of the existing Buck Union Building at Penn State McKeesport, Penn State’s Board of Trustees learned that renovation costs would approach those for a new structure and agreed that it was in the best interest of the university to demolish the existing facility and build a new one.

Today, July 14, the Board appointed the firm of W.T.W. Architects of Pittsburgh to build the approximately 24,000 square-foot building for a project budget of about $5,500,000. The building will include food services, a bookstore, student organization offices, a health center, student activity space and a multi-purpose room.
