Penn State Hillel contributed $250,000 to the construction of the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, scheduled to begin after the university's Board of Trustees approves the final design. The building will adjoin Eisenhower Chapel and will add space for worship and other spiritual and educational activities on campus.

The building will cost about $9 million, all of which will come from private funds. Hillel's gift brings the amount of money raised to a little over $8 million.
