STATE COLLEGE — On Monday, Aug. 3, the State College Area School Board heard an update on the Districtwide Facilities Master Plan.
The discussion Monday included the Fairmount Building. The district plans to conduct a feasibility study on the building. The study would include:
- Examination of the building as a whole with a focus on ADA accessibility
- Examination of the building being segmented with no access from one side to the other
- Parking options
- Space allocation options
- Scope of envelope stabilization
- Rough order of magnitude costs for envelope stabilization
- State College Borough zoning and Historical Architectural Review Board implications
Also at the meeting, the board heard that contractors are wrapping up the final items at the Mount Nittany Elementary expansion.
The school will be open to students in the fall. A ribbon cutting ceremony is set for 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14 to showcase the new wing.
In other business, the board accepted a $55,000 gift commitment from Josh Bresler being made through the SCASD Education Foundation. The gift will fund lighting, padding, and painting renovations to the wrestling room. The wrestling room will be named after Bresler for a period of 10 years.
