EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A liberal arts college in eastern Pennsylvania is seeking approval to build a $75 million science center.
The Express-Times reports (https://bit.ly/2iNiu4A ) the proposal from Lafayette College will have its first public review next week.
The Easton planning commission will consider plans for the five-story building on Wednesday. If approved, construction could start in May.
The building is part of an expansion effort that could also see enrollment increase by 400 students over the next 10 years.
However, Lafayette’s plan for new dorms has met resistance from neighbors concerned about parking and related issues. The planning commission asked for more information about the project at a meeting earlier this month.
Lafayette currently serves about 2,500 students.
