This project will strengthen the Physics Department’s research capabilities while addressing some deferred maintenance needs in the Osmond Building. Key features include new state-of-the-art research labs, a high-bay research facility for large-scale instrument assembly and testing, collaborative spaces, renovated lecture halls, and an updated courtyard. 

The high-bay facility will support work on balloons, rockets, satellite payloads, and deep-underground experiments, enhancing the department’s research impact and attracting major interdisciplinary projects to Penn State. The project also includes a regional stormwater management structure to improve runoff control.
