The task force took this information,
along with their recommendation
to create a smoke free
campus to Hanes, who approved the
policy.
The policy was a “public health
and safety decision” according to
Sam Monismith, co-chair of the
task force.
“No amount of smoke is healthy,”
said Monismith. “We are not
trying to take over parenting
responsibilities.”
The task force has not recommended
to Police Services or Hanes to
implement fines to smokers who
violate the policy. Instead, a social
responsibility is relied
on to address a serious public health
concern.
The policy also changes plans
for the remodeled Olmsted
lobby. According to the Capital
Times Dec. 12 issue, the
lobby would be built with an

Along with efforts to be ADA
compliant, the new entrance will be
more energy efficient.
“There will be two sets of automatic
doors,” said Dankanich.
He said the space between the two
sets of doors will act as a zone to keep
the temperature inside cool enough
in the summer and warm enough in
the winter. The temperature inside
will remain more constant, thus
proving energy efficient.
The new entrance will also expand

According to Dankanich, another
goal is to have the windows on the
west side of Olmsted replaced to
match those on the east side of the
building near Ziegler Plaza.
“As part of the Campus Master
Plan, there will be some cosmetic
changes such as replacing carpet
tiles and fixing ceilings,” he said.
The Campus Master Plan was
approved by the Penn State
University Board of Trustees in
January 2007. Dankanich said
there have been many rules and
regulations to follow regarding

where she was also introduced to

“We have worked closely with
project managers from University
Park,” said Dankanich.
The design work of the project
is being handled by the Penn State
Office of Physical Plant Design
Services and Weber Murphy Fox.
Students must now use the Ziegler
Plaza entrance for Olmsted until
construction on the main entrance is
finished. Dankanich said he thought
there would be more issues with the
construction disrupting campus life,
but he was surprised there have been
minimal issues.
“Once students saw it, they got used
to it and adapted,” said Dankanich.
