“A number of colleges have unmet needs that would be addressed by the American Refractories building,” said Gary C. Schultz, senior vice president for finance and business/treasurer.  Penn State’s Board of Trustees today (March 16) approved the purchase for $2.2 million. 

The 10-acre property contains a 56,000 square-foot, single story structure with an office, laboratory and research and warehouse spaces.  The University also owns the Aqua Penn and Swan properties at CATO Park on Route 26.
