• Lawrence “Larry” Hochreiter former professor of of nuclear and mechanical engineering who died in 2008
• Edward Klevans former department head and professor emeritus of nuclear engineering adviser to Loftus • Jack Brenizer nuclear engineering doctoral alumnus professor emeritus of nuclear engineering and former chair of the nuclear engineering program
The name also honors nuclear engineering community members who have contributed to the field through avenues like philanthropy and student support such as Ken and Mary Alice Lindquist according to the donors “We have a a vision to be one of the most innovative diverse and inclusive nuclear engineering departments in in the country ”
said Jean Paul Allain department department head “This gift
resonates with this vision and is a a a a a terrific example to catalyze engagement with our NIC It marks the the gateway to celebrate the the incredible legacy of nuclear at Penn State ”
Visitors to to the NIC will pass through the the gateway at at the the east entrance This location symbolizes the connection between the Ken and Mary Alice Lindquist Department
of Nuclear Engineering and the Breazeale Nuclear Reactor on the east side of the University Park campus where the donors researched as undergraduates “We have shared really phenomenal lab experiences in Breazeale ”
she said “We got to see the power of the atom—to live it ”
The donors longtime supporters of Penn State nuclear engineering plan for their gift
to also celebrate upcoming nuclear engineering advocates “As new trailblazers innovators and friends emerge in future generations and make a a a a difference for nuclear engineering we can honor them
as well ”
Wood said “We want this to be welcoming and inclusive in in in perpetuity ”
