The Pennsylvania State University celebrated the opening of the 93,500-sf Agricultural Engineering Building in June of 2018 in University Park. The $44 million project included a 16,000-sf renovation of the historical front section of the structure, demolition of the remainder of the building, and approximately 77,000 sf of new construction. Accommodating the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, the project provides multidisciplinary teaching and research labs, collaborative learning spaces, classrooms, faculty offices, a senior capstone project design lab, and a shared fermentation facility. LEED certification will be sought for the sustainably designed building, which features abundant natural light, highly efficient systems, and a green roof. The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) team included EYP Architecture & Engineering, DPR Construction, MMC Mechanical, and Lighthouse Electric. Construction began on the facility in fall of 2016.
