Crews use heavy equipment to level the old patio area in front of the Study Learning Center and start preparing the site for new patio area and green space.
The old concrete patio between the Dawson and SLC buildings has been removed and crews began leveling the area to prepare for the new patio and green space that will take its place, including a clock tower and plaque honoring the campus' namesake, Worthington Scranton and the Scranton family.
When the project is complete, the new Information Sciences and Technology Active Learning and Innovation Lab will have work stations like the one shown in this artist rendering to encourage group study and collaboration.
The new lab space is also being completely rewired. Workers will soon begin installing the new wiring for the new computers, work stations and technology that the space will offer.
The hallway of the Dawson Building's first floor is now under construction as work begins on the new Information Sciences and Technology Active Learning and Innovation Lab.
Penn State Scranton Chancellor Marwan Wafa poses with the Nittany Lion after it is placed in its new location on the west end of the patio, while crew members involved in the effort look on.
