UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Board of Trustees Committee on Finance, Business and Capital Planning advanced a proposal to begin renovations and upgrades to Holuba Hall and Lasch practice fields on the University Park campus today (Feb. 16). 

The proposal will be considered by the full board at its meeting on Feb. 17.  

The $7.5 million project will include the addition of a permanent scoreboard with enhanced audio and video capabilities in Holuba Hall, which will benefit the student-athletes for numerous sports by allowing coaches to maximize limited practice time.  

The project also will include installation of an additional goal post and netting, and a play clock on the artificial practice field at Lasch, as well as fixed cameras in Holuba to assist coaches with filming.
