Facilities Fee

The Facility Fee serves as the primary source of funding for many projects at Penn State Beaver. Beaver students, groups, faculty and staff have the opportunity to propose project ideas for funding through the Campus Facilities Allocation Committee. This funding has been used to enhance and expand non-academic, recreational and multi-use spaces across the campus. Notable completed projects include the Gary B. Keefer Wellness Center and its equipment, the Sports Court & Pavilion behind Harmony Hall, the Bistro Plaza and the Donna J. Kuga Pavilion located near the Laboratory Classroom Building. Other improvements have been made to the General Classroom Building and the Student Union Building’s lounge and lodge areas. Ongoing renovations to the Beaver Fieldhouse are also in progress.

Where do the funds come from?

The funds for campus projects come from the Facilities Fee, which is paid by each student every semester. Full-time students pay the full fee, while part-time students pay a pro-rated amount based on the number of credits they are enrolled in. Any increases to the fee are determined by the Commonwealth Fee Board.

Guidelines

The Student Facilities Fee funds collected at Penn State Beaver are exclusively used for projects on the campus and remain within the university. Projects are funded on a cash-only basis, meaning no borrowing against future years is allowed without permission. The fee funds cannot be used for rental agreements, such as building leases or memberships. Any unused funds from a given year are carried over to the next year and accrue interest. All new facilities or modifications to existing facilities will align with Penn State Beaver’s strategic and master physical facilities plans.

Members

The Campus Facilities Allocation Committee is co-chaired by the president of the Student Government Association and the director of Student Affairs. Other members of the committee include the director of Finance and Business, the director of Development, and staff and faculty representatives. The committee also consists of nine students—seven voting members and two alternates—ensuring a broad range of perspectives in the decision-making process.
