Changing Before Our Eyes During your four years at Penn State. 1975-79. you saw a limited amount of building and ex- pansion on campus, most of which took place during your years as upperclassmen. Three of these expansion projects are particularly note- worthy: Schwab Auditorium. Beaver Stadium, and the Sports Complex. Schwab Auditorium, built in 1903. was the gift of Charles M. Schwab, chairman of Bethlehem Steel Corporation and a Penn State Trustee. Originally built as a chapel, the auditorium has since enjoyed varied academic and line arts uses. But during most of your junior year. Schwab was closed for repairs and renovations. The Audito- rium was rededicated during Homecoming week- end in Pall 1978 with new lighting, heating, air conditioning, carpeting, seats, and a total seating capacity of 968. Sixteen thousand scats were added to Beaver Stadium between the '77 and 78 football seasons, and the addition entailed an engineering feat of grand proportion. The 8-niillion-pound all-steel stadium was lifted 1216 feet to allow the erection of 20 rows of concrete stands where the track used to be. The south end of the horseshoe was also closed in with 40 rows of concrete stands, making a bowl with seals coming right down to the grass. Even with the additional 16.000 seats, tickets to all home games were sold out well in advance of the opening game! The University Ice Pavilion was converted to an indoor sports complex during Pall 1978. pro- viding outdoor varsity sports with a warm year- round practice area. The complex provided the soccer, track, baseball, football, men's and women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams with an indoor artificial surface for practice, but left ice skaters and hockey players out in the cold. A new skating rink will logically be the next build- ing project at Penn State, and there are whispers of another addition to the stadium. For now. you can watch the completion of the Nursing Build- ing. and wonder what comes next. - jme — Changing 25
