A proposed building
could house 168
students while creating
more living options in
downtown State College

Borough officials said they
want to see a more age-diverse
community downtown, a day
after they took the first steps to
add a downtown high-rise stu
dent apartment.
State College Mayor Elizabeth
Goreham said the borough is
acknowledging the need for
downtown housing by pursuing a
zoning ordinance near Beaver
Canyon that would allow the con
struction of the high-rise.
But she wants that housing to
be controlled, which is why offi
cials are requiring for the first
time that the proposed building
have security cameras, restric
tive windows that open only four
inches, on-site managers and no
balconies.
The proposed complex at 256
E. Beaver Ave. would have four
bedroom apartments and could
house 168 students.
Students often feel there is
inadequate housing downtown,
said Jennifer Garvin, director of
Penn State ancillary services.
“It would definitely meet the
need for students who feel there
is a limited amount of housing
within walking distance,” Garvin
said.
But not only students have
trouble securing housing,
Goreham said.
Young professionals who
make a modest salary and pay
taxes cannot always make rent
on a downtown apartment,
though four or five students may
be able to split it, Goreham
added.
Goreham said she would like
to see more of a mix of perma
nent residents in the area to help
calm the downtown atmosphere.
She cited the upcoming Fraser
Centre apartments as a way to
“soften the tone.”
“Sometimes it gets pretty
wired in the Canyon after foot
ball games and things,”
Goreham said. “It can get pretty
intense.”
