Using funds received from Gov. Robert Casey, the University will be building a coal desulfurization research and development facility and a coal-water-slurry test facility at University Park for the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. Following review of total research costs, the University will charge more to private agencies conducting research in Penn State facilities to cover $2 million to $3 million in unrealized indirect research costs. The second and third buildings in the new Gateway apartment complex will have required parking, but not the borough's requested landscaping, according to plans approved by the State College Planning Commission Friday. The Centre County Women's Resource Center, with financial help from the Community Development Program of the Borough of State College, will be relocating in August from 111 Sowers St. to a larger location at 140 W. Nittany Ave. In another effort to alleviate the chronic parking shortage in State College, the borough's parking authority is considering plans to build a third parking garage on an existing parking lot at Garner Street and Calder Way.
