While the Pattee Mall entrance to Pattee Library and Paterno Library is not open during the fall 2020 semester, the ground floor Collaboration Commons entrance to its west is open, shown here shortly before its fall 2019 opening. Its glass doors have touchless automatic doors on the western, bricked side of the doorways; they only require a wave of a hand in front of its sensors to open.  Credit: Penn State University Libraries / Penn State. Creative Commons
