The old concrete patio between the Dawson and SLC buildings has been removed and work is in progress on a new common area between the two buildings that will feature shade trees, greenery and a clock tower with a special plaque honoring the campus' former namesake, Mr. Worthington Scranton.
Construction crews leveling the area between the Dawson and SLC buildings where a new patio area will be created with shade trees, a clock tower and greenery.
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.
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 raised brick platform at the campus' entrance that housed Penn State Scranton's Nittany Lion for almost 20 years sits empty minutes after the lion statue was moved to its new location.
The construction zone on the first floor of Dawson, where a project is underway to replace the old computer lab with a new Information Sciences and Technology Active Learning and Innovation Lab.
The old computer lab is completely gutted, as crews began work on creating the new space that will house Information Sciences and Technology Active Learning and Innovation Lab, made possible in part through a generous gift by campus alumna Sue Thomas.
In addition to the new physical improvements, new wiring is also being installed for the new Information Sciences and Technology Active Learning and Innovation Lab.
