Changing the face of campus
Work continues on Pattee/Paterno libraries as crews construct
a two-story atrium that will serve as the new circulation area (above).
This area was formerly the location of the outside book drop. At right,
scaffolding envelops the exterior of the building as brick work continues
and masons climb the metal and wood framework to reach the upper levels.
The $26 million renovation and construction project on the University Park
campus is about 30 percent complete. When finished, the new Paterno Library
will be an extra 100,000-square-foot, multi-story addition to Pattee Library.
After completion of the new library, renovation will occur in some sections
of West and Central Pattee, where the humanities and arts collections will
be housed.
