Penn State University
The Nittany Lions have called the current location of Beaver Stadium home since 1960. Barton Malow began collaborating with Penn State Athletics at the facility in 1999 and has continually been involved with projects large and small since then throughout the athletics campus. In the fall of 2023, Penn State announced its selection of the joint venture team Barton Malow AECOM Hunt Alexander for the construction management of the latest stadium renovations, bringing together a continuation of knowledge and breadth of national sports experience.

Our involvement with Beaver Stadium began in 1999 with a major stadium expansion project. The Beaver Stadium renovation included new luxury skyboxes and VIP suites on the east sideline, 6,000 general seats, and 4,000 club seats in the south end zone. We also added an All-Sports Museum, a south endzone club lounge, and renovated the home team locker room and media room. Additional upgrades included scoreboard replacements, north end zone renovations, and general maintenance, such as the recently introduced Tunnel Club. For 25 years, Barton Malow has focused on improving spectator amenities and circulation, building a foundation of trust with Penn State Athletics.
Penn State described the 1999 stadium expansion project as a major success due to the dedication and hard work of the Barton Malow/Alexander team in collaboration with the Athletics Department. Their confidence was so high that Penn State increased our scope by over 20%. This included a new gate and concourse, a large electrical upgrade re-feeding the north end zone buildings, and complete re-paving under the bowl just two months before substantial completion. Our strong JV team continues to perform general maintenance at Beaver Stadium as requested into 2025, ensuring the stadium revitalization project remains a benchmark for quality and reliability.
On December 19, 2024, the Barton Malow-AECOM Hunt-Alexander team announced a strategic partnership with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s Harrisburg Office. This OSHA safety partnership reinforces our commitment to safety at every level of the Beaver Stadium renovation project. Our goal is to maintain the highest standards of safety while delivering exceptional results for Penn State Athletics.
