None beyond what was already more than readily available via the existing Palmer Museum.
Apparently you couldn't be bothered to watch much of the video as there was clearly a lecture space shown at 1:42.
Apparently you couldn't be bothered to read beyond the first paragraph of the release as the second paragraph mentions that the museum will have "educational and event spaces."
The article on StateCollege.com mentions education four times.
Teaching is the first thing listed in the Palmer's mission statement. Apparently they have been lying to us all these years. The museum's position of Director of Education is merely a ghost position for a mobbed up union member.
Even if it did not have classrooms, which it will have at least one, by your logic, botany can only be taught in a classroom. What botany student would ever need to go and actually look at and study actual plants?
If you don't believe in the value of a new museum, at least pick a logical reason, not some BS accusation that it has no educational purpose.

Alas poor Shakespeare,
Do you think my comment may have been a whimsical, playful expression?

Reminded me of one of my favorite episodes - "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge." It was Season 2.
It's certainly no Weisman Art Museum (University of Minnesota)....
I think it’s ugly, and it’s more stark when you lose the colored reflections.

This building opened in 1993, but I could not find the construction cost. A $14-MM expansion began in 2009. I wonder if their version of the AKB was
about it.

Britt Aamodt talks with museum staffers and curators about the ambitious expansion (spearheaded by famed architect Frank Gehry) underway at the Weisman -- look for five new galleries and a revival of artist/community collaborations in the new space.

This makes me wonder if the Eric Barren Grand Cathedral of The Arts (and such) was designed with future expansion in mind.

Hope you're sitting down....(and worth noting Gehry is one of the world's most in-demand architects). This is in 1990.
If approved by the board of regents, the $8-million structure will occupy a conspicuous site at the east end of the Washington Avenue Bridge. Gehry’s firm was selected in November after a two-year search. Gehry was in New York on business and could not be reached for comment.
Checked out some of the other work by Allied Works Architecture. They did Michigan's Museum of Art too (below). I dig their aesthetic to be honest. Clean, lots of windows/transparency, modern materials....
Michigan's expansion (53,000 sq. ft.) cost about $42mm in 2009. Penn State's is 71,000 sq. ft. (for, as we all know, $85mm).

I did watch that video, that is most definitely not a classroom. You can find that type of room in any hotel that has a banquet or conference room, just about any library, etc. The museum is an $85MM+ facility that is little more than a field trip. The university doesn't even tout it as a place for classroom learning, or important for any major, yet it's being pushed for it in this thread. Sorry, that's non-value added overhead. To be value added, the customer has to be willing to pay for it. As an example, you may need an accounts payable department, but customers don't find it important to the product they want to purchase. You simply aren't finding enough potential students willing to pony up anything close to $85MM to move it into the value added category.
How long until some crazy protester decides to throw the onion dip onto a painting like they do in Europe now?
That ship has definitely sailed - but there is an entire Armada waiting in dock.

Would they happen to be a paying customer?

So this is why the world had a shortage of aluminum foil and possibly tin foil hats in the 1990's????
Someone worked at the airplane factory and brought home extra pieces to build their house
No, the new method is to glue a hand onto the onion dip bowl. They could dispense with the glue if they stuck their hand in the dip and kept it there long enough, say for about ten minutes or so.How long until some crazy protester decides to throw the onion dip onto a painting like they do in Europe now?
Lots and lots of money being spent on construction projects at University Park: https://psu-opp.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0a5fd97b273e46c8b87f685eb253e320

Actually, a little dip splashed on this may enhance....
"An exceptionally gifted genius"
Has a scientific theory ever been proven wrong?
"Yes indeed."
Till the 1500s, scientists thought that erections in human males were caused by air which was inflated in the penis by the male body through some unknown mechanics.
Of course, scientists were not allowed to dissect a human body because the catholic church strongly condemned this idea — the dissected dead persion would look terrible when arriving in heaven.
But there was this guy who dissected the dead anyway.
In secret.
And it was the very same guy who correctly explained the human male erection due to his deep anatomical knowledge and formidable intelligence, and he was the very first to get this right:
The year was 1477, and he had essentially nailed it.
His name ?
Da Vinci, dear friend.
Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci.

I don't ***** about buildings, just the way they're paid for.
Now Penn State fans will have something else to do rather than attend football games.
If this building had Weather Thread pics or Midnighter Polls pics I would show up!
The Eric Barren Grand Cathedral of The Arts (and such) will be a great
