Penn State athletics' facilities master plan has arrived.

Revealed Monday morning, an exhaustive overview of the needs and plans for the Nittany Lions' 31 intercollegiate sports, the report that was 17 months in the making included details of a wide range of new construction, renovation, and demolition to fully satisfy the university's needs.

Broken into two sections, the plan addresses the immediacy of five priority projects to begin construction within the next five years, as well as a future list of renovations and improvements to be made.

The five priority projects include:

- The Center for Excellence: This will be the new home of Penn State athletics. As outlined by Sandy Barbour's intentions upon first taking the position as athletic director, the push to centralize the department will finally take place. Proposed as a 450,000 square foot facility with space for parking built underneath, it will be "the new hub for Penn State's 800 student-athletes, staff and coaches" where the East Area Locker Rooms are currently located.

- Indoor Practice Facility: Described as similar to Holuba Hall, a 108,000 square foot, multi-use practice facility will be attached to the Center for Excellence.

- Natatorium: A sparkling new facility for Penn State's swimming and diving teams is on the docket, checking in at 130,000 square feet with a variety of amenities, allowing "Penn State to host significantly more swimming and diving events than at McCoy Natatorium." Location to be determined.

- Indoor Tennis: Taking up the vacant space west of the current field hockey complex, Penn State will address its needs with a 100,000 square foot tennis facility including 10 courts, a pro shop, locker rooms and spectator space.

- Jeffrey Field: In addition to the four major construction projects already detailed, Penn State also has plans for major renovations to its soccer stadium. Locker room facilities, chair backs in the stands, covered seating and a video board are among the proposed improvements.

To accommodate these five facilities, demolition will occur to Penn State's current indoor tennis facility as well as the current East Area Locker Rooms, also making room for an extension of Dauer Road past University Drive all the way to Bigler Road.

Beyond those immediate projects, as well as a proposed "extensive renovations" to Beaver Stadium, the facilities master plan also includes a variety of future plans. Included in those proposals is a new Penn State All-Sports Museum to be located on the corner of University and Curtin, a new basketball practice facility, golf club house, cross country house, olympic sport training facility, outdoor track and facility, and a parking structure on Beaver Stadium's west side.

Additionally, renovations are set to address the softball stadium, the Bryce Jordan Center, Beaver Stadium, the field hockey complex, the Lasch Building, the Multi-Sport Complext, the lacrosse field, and Penn State's outdoor tennis facility.
