The Penn State Food Science Building houses the famous Penn State Creamery. IKM Incorporated was commissioned to design the new building to provide the state-of-te-art facilities that would allow the University’s College of Agricultural Sciences to remain current with researchers in the food science departments in the Big Ten Conference and the Northeast. Food Science programs include research, teaching, and outreach activities. The disciplines of primary importance are chemistry, microbiology, engineering, and nutrition.  This unique building combines manufacturing, retail sales, academic teaching and research under a single roof.

The new Advanced Technology and Science Hall at Slippery Rock University is a 76,000 square foot building with two front doors. Uniquely located at the southern entrance to campus the building faces the public road on one side and the campus quad on the other. The public side presents a circular drive; a formal entrance that announces arrival at the University campus. The other respects the ever present foot traffic patterns established by hurried students as they make their way among campus buildings traveling from class to class.
