Susan Welch Liberal Arts Building
The Susan Welch Liberal Arts Building (SWLAB) will establish an innovative new hub for the social sciences at Penn State on a site on Fischer Road visible from both West Park Avenue and Allen Road. The building will be a new home for multiple academic programs in the social sciences which are currently located across different campus buildings. Units expected to occupy SWLAB include the Departments of Anthropology, Political Science, and Sociology and Criminology, the Schools of Public Policy and International Affairs, the McCourtney Institute for Democracy, and the Population Research Institute.
