After careful measuring, leveling and making sure the placement and angle of the Nittany Lion was just right, the construction crew in charge of moving the Lion to its new home removed the straps that were used to move the icon and take a moment to admire their work, while campus Chancellor Marwan Wafa poses for a photo on this historic day.
The campus' Nittany Lion statue is moved on a flatbed truck from its original home at the campus' entrance to the west end of the patio area between the Dawson and SLC buildings.
