Seven Penn State campuses have created the Commonwealth Arboreta Network, a network that will inventory trees and plant life while sharing research and teaching resources, with the eventual goal of creating an arboretum at each of the University's 24 campuses.
A new mobile Penn State id+ card is anticipated to launch in January 2023, allowing students to use their mobile devices to conveniently, safely and securely access campus housing facilities, purchase meals, and more.
Leaders from around the commonwealth gathered at Penn State Berks on Friday, Aug. 26, to celebrate the dedication of the newly renovated and expanded Beaver Athletics and Wellness Center. President Neeli Bendapudi was on hand to mark the culmination of the $30 million project, which revamped the original structure into a 76,000-square-foot modern facility designed to support academic programs and recreational activities.
Penn State Berks will open areas within the first phase of construction and renovation of the new Beaver Athletics and Wellness Center to students, faculty and staff on Oct. 4.
As part of the renovation and expansion to the Penn State Berks community center, the Penn State Board of Trustees Committee on Finance, Business and Capital Planning has recommended for full board consideration the renaming of the facility from the “Beaver Community Center” to the “Beaver Athletics and Wellness Center.”
The Board of Trustees will consider a proposal to modernize and expand the Beaver Community Center at Penn State Berks. Originally built in 1980, the facility houses the Berks kinesiology program, including faculty and staff offices.
