Medlar Field at Lubrano Park
Penn State's Medlar Field at Lubrano Park is the first baseball stadium in the world to be honored for its LEED certification. It was completed during the summer of 2006.
What is LEED certification?
LEED certification is the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability. LEED certified buildings meet certain high standards for indoor air quality, energy and water conservation. A percentage of the materials are recycled, renewable or locally-sourced materials. The LEED rating system was developed and is administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington D.C.-based, nonprofit coalition of building industry leaders. There are 4 levels of certification: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Certified.
The stadium is named for 1982 Penn State graduate Anthony Lubrano and former Nittany Lion Head Coach Charles "Chuck" Medlar. Lubrano, a Nittany Lion baseball letterman, chose to honor his college coach with a generous financial gift toward the realization of the long-discussed project. Coach Medlar served at the helm of the Penn State program for nineteen years and guided the Lions to two College World Series appearances.
