Site dedicated

Plans are to have the center, which will be constructed on the corner of Porter Road and Park Avenue on the University Park campus, completed in time for the National Governor's Conference to be held at Penn State next summer.

Susan Maxman and Associates of Philadelphia designed the $3.5 million building, which is being funded in partnership with the Centre County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
