KUTZTOWN, Pa.
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania is expanding its science programs and needs additional research labs and technological upgrades. The Pennsylvania Department of General Services has contracted STV Architects of Douglassville, Pa., to design the new Kutztown University Science Center. The $14-million center will encompass the departments of biology, chemistry, marine science, physics, geography, geology, physical science, and astronomy. The project will include renovations to Kutztown's Boehm and Grim science buildings, both built in the 1960s, and a 70,000-sf addition to the Boehm building. This addition will house a combination of classrooms, labs, small research spaces, and associated support spaces.
