A new look and feel will greet visitors to Penn State’s Commonwealth Campus websites beginning June 21. The refreshed websites, which apply to each of the University’s Commonwealth Campuses, are the result of in-depth research on user needs and best practices, resulting in modern, mobile-friendly and engaging sites that highlight the power of Penn State’s campus communities.
Through Penn State Shenango's strong network of alumni and community supporters, $50,000 has been raised to launch a baseball program that will begin play during the 2023-24 academic year. Baseball will become the fifth sport that the campus has added since reinstating athletics in 2018.
Then in 2006, Penn State Shenango completed its largest renovation in the history of the campus. The $9.4 million project concentrated on the renovation of Sharon and Lecture Halls and the construction of the Nittany Lion Shrine. In addition, the project connected the two buildings at all three levels with the construction of a stunning glass atrium.
In the fall of 1968, the Forker Laboratory's construction was completed and the college began to hold biology and chemistry courses there. In 2021, Forker Laboratory opened again to students after the completion of an $8 million modernization.
Forker Laboratory Building remains the only building on campus that was built by Penn State. More recently, flowers and comfortable outdoor seating areas welcome students and visitors.
Formerly referred to as two separate buildings, the then-new Science Building is shown after construction was completed. Today, both Science Building and Forker Laboratory are considered the Forker Laboratory Building.
