Snyder Hall
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Snyder Hall, scheduled for demolition in June, will be remembered for its world-class research, and for many, being part of bygone era when laboratory animal science was a common practice at universities around the country. As researchers made groundbreaking discoveries, former students and employees from the 1970s and 1980s recall the eerie animal noises echoing through McCarthy Mall, where Snyder Hall is located.
The five-story concrete building was built in 1962 for $1.5 million. Snyder Hall was replaced in 2020 with the $65-million state-of-the-art Life Sciences Building located on the East-West Road end of McCarthy Mall.
The Pennsbury School District plans to hire Thomas Smith, an educator from New Jersey, to become the district s next superintendent.
Smith currently serves as superintendent of the Hopewell Valley Regional School District in Pennington. He also has served as the president of the Mercer County Administrators Association for seven years and was named Mercer s Superintendent of the Year in 2018. I am very excited to join the Pennsbury School community. Pennsbury has a strong reputation and from the comprehensive interview experience with the board, I know that we share the same vision of providing a world-class education for Pennsbury students, Smith said. I look forward to working very hard for the community and partnering with the outstanding staff in Pennsbury to promote student achievement in academics, the arts, activities and athletics.
