It took about 10 seconds Friday for the Penn State Board of Trustees to give its nod to an estimated $69 million worth of renovations of the Nittany Lions football facilities.

The project sailed through without a word of comment as the board hired HOK of Philadelphia to design the renovations to the Lasch Football Building, Holuba Hall, which has indoor practice facilities, and the outdoor practice fields.

Work will include expansion of the strength and conditioning facility and upgrades to office and meeting space.

While the football-related project is likely to grab the most attention, it isn’t the only building venture the trustees agreed to expend millions of dollars on during their session at The Penn Stater.

Also approved without opposition were a $49 upgrade and expansion of the West Campus Steam Plant at University Park and $7.2 million in roofing projects for various buildings at the main campus.

Approval was given for a $7.6 million renovation of the Lofstrom Library at the Hazleton campus as well. Another okay was given for the $6.9 million purchase of the Karch-Taylor Building on Pine Hall Road in Ferguson Township near the main campus. The university had been renting the building for its Applied Research Laboratory
