Officials with Indiana University of Pennsylvania say the first phase of a long-range expansion of its culinary arts program in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania is underway after six vacant buildings on West Mahoning Street were demolished to make room for a new facility.
WTAJ News reports the project will include a two-story addition to the Fairman Center featuring teaching kitchens, expanded parking and a restaurant open to the public. Program coordinator Lynn Pike said the upgrades will provide more space and modern equipment as demand for the program continues to grow.
Construction on the expansion is expected to be completed by 2028.
