To support its broad-based program, Penn State has athletic facilities the equal of any school in the country.

Penn State tabbed $176 million for the construction and renovation of a number of facilities, many of which have been or are near completed, including new constructions for baseball, softball, golf, field hockey, track and field and soccer.
