UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said she would prefer Beaver Stadium, the school’s massive football stadium, be renovated instead of building a new football stadium as the school announced today it is working with Kansas City-based architecture firm Populous to create a facilities master plan for the department.
“That’s my strong personal preference, that’s our preference as an athletic department and certainly as a university,” she said Thursday in an interview with the Post-Gazette.
The school will rely on the recommendations of Populous, which in the next 10 months will present the school with long-term solutions for the athletic department’s facilities.
