Franklin Field developments

 

Construction work has begun on the George A. Weiss Pavilion, the first tangible product of the Athletic Department's plan to expand its facilities as part of Penn's broader push to the east.

The Weiss Pavilion will sit on Franklin Field's northern facade and is slated to open next spring. It will contain retail space and training facilities, which will expand the Robert A. Fox weight room -- where the football team works out -- to roughly twice its current size, around one-third the size of Pottruck.

The Athletic Department has smartly produced a five-minute video on the construction, which has details on the project's now-completed design phase and where the project goes from here. For more background reading, some of the DP's stories on Eastward Expansion are here, here, here and here.
