Penn State trustees poised to OK $16.6M upgrades on Thompson Hall. What to know

The trustees’ Committee on Finance & Investment unanimously recommended the move for approval Thursday morning. It will now be voted on by the full board Friday afternoon. The project would replace 76-year-old communal bathrooms with “shared private” bathrooms, with one added for about every six beds. The laundry room would also be refurbished with new gas dryers, a community kitchen would be installed, and six bedrooms (with 14 beds) would also be added. The move comes on the heels of the university announcement it is facing a $124 million shortfall driven by declining enrollment and rising health insurance costs.
