The renovation and expansion of the 1939 Charles Klauder building represents the school’s vision to create a comprehensive and integrated complex for the Agricultural and Biological Engineering departments.
Keast & Hood provided full structural engineering services for Penn State’s first Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) commission. The project involved renovations to the existing 15,000-sf building and addition of approximately 80,000-sf. The three-story building accommodates classrooms, offices, and a variety of specialty lab spaces housing everything from a bio-fermentation facility to a tractor simulation laboratory.
The project will be completed under a true, Integrated Project Delivery model using a multi-party agreement with Pennsylvania State University, EYP Architecture & Engineering, DPR Construction, Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors, and Lighthouse Electric Company.
