First built at WVU as an experimental project, the iconic PRT is marking 50 years of transporting students, faculty and staff, and visitors across the Morgantown Campus.
Members of the University community and the public are invited to help celebrate the milestone with a series of special events beginning today (Nov. 3).
Key events include the following:
Historical display
The West Virginia and Regional History Center, located at the Downtown Library Complex, will host a historical PRT display in the Atrium during regular business hours through the end of the year.
Walk-through photo history and retro-inspired collection sale
The WVU Bookstore will host a special anniversary activation Nov. 6-7, that will include a walk-through photo history of the PRT and a retro-inspired PRT collection available for purchase. WVU Bookstore hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Follow @WestVirginiaU on Instagram, Facebook and X for other fun PRT anniversary events, and watch for the specially wrapped PRT car for photo opportunities and additional surprises.
