UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Five classroom buildings on Penn State’s University Park campus will be open for extended hours as students prepare for finals week.

Beginning Thursday, April 25, through Friday, May 3, Boucke, Hammond, Osmond, Thomas and Willard buildings will be available on a 24/7 basis as a place for students to study — either in groups or as individuals — without having to schedule a room. At the conclusion of finals on May 3, the buildings will close at their normal time of 11 p.m. 

This marks the third year that the Office of Physical Plant has offered extended building access to accommodate students studying for finals. Final exams are scheduled for April 29 to May 3, with spring commencement set for May 3-5.
