Construction

Clarion Campus – Science-Technology Building Construction

Solar system panels have been installed on the roof.  On a sunny day, the solar system is expected to produce up to 26 KW of electrical power directly used in the Science & Technology Building.

The auditorium and planetarium are complete with installation of the planetarium star projector installation this past week.  On the exterior, the contractor has completed insulation and sheeting installation and will install the copper cladding which will extend from the roof to the ground level when the demolition of Pierce is further along. 

Clarion Campus – Chandler Demolition

Sorted metal and debris continue to be removed from the site.  The connecting road from Wood Street to Page Street opened Friday to accommodate the surge of incoming students is closed again and will remain that way until the demolition is finished.  The project remains on schedule to finish in October. 

Gregory Barnes Biotechnology Business Development Center

The Gregory Barnes Biotechnology Business Development Center at Clarion University has completed concrete pours for the slab and upper floor decks with side panels and stairs under construction and glass panels being installed.  The building will be available for its first occupants in mid October.  The entire building is 23,295 square feet on three floors with a prepared ground pad to add three more 20,000 sq.ft. pods to the building as its activities expand in the future.

The Gregory Barnes Biotechnology Business Development Center is a project of the Clarion University Foundation constructed with donated funds, state redevelopment funds and rental payments from its occupants.
