Acquired in 2009, the Kazmaier Family Building on Twelfth Avenue in downtown Altoona is home to the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, a unit responsible for managing programs, events, and special initiatives that contribute to the advancement of the college through fundraising and alumni relations.
The Kazmaiers
In 2007, Penn State Altoona received a significant gift from John P. and Deedra M. Kazmaier and John's mother, Jane Patterson Kazmaier Lower. In recognition of the gift from the longtime friends of the University, the former WRTA building was named in honor of the Kazmaier family and dedicated in June 2009.
