PLEASE NOTE:
If you are coming to the Prevention Research Center offices in South Henderson to teach or to take classes or for occasional meetings, come on foot when possible! Construction of the new Biobehavioral Health Building began in late October 2010.
The two closest public parking lots, located just off College Avenue on Pugh and McAllister Streets, are another option. The parking lot on College Avenue in front of the Nursing Building will remain open but with very limited access.
Please see map (PDF) for additional information re the building site and proximate locations. [Penn State Live article on upcoming construction and map]
