YORK, Pa. — Penn State York’s Main Classroom Building is set to close for the spring semester 2020 as the building undergoes renovations in order to provide new heating and cooling systems, duct work and high-efficiency lights, among other improvements. Most of the work will be done during the spring 2020, and the building is to be closed for several months. View the campus map and details of the moves.
“We are grateful that we have received funding from the University for the HVAC and lighting upgrades for the Main Classroom Building here at Penn State York,” said Holly Gumke, director of business services at the York campus. “These systems have served the campus well for more than 40 years, but it is certainly time to replace the antiquated system with much more energy-efficient equipment."
The Main Classroom Building was constructed in the late 1970s and the heating and cooling systems need an upgrade. The new system will not only provide improved comfort, but also increase energy efficiencies.
“We are pleased that students, faculty, staff, and visitors will benefit from improved heating and air conditioning when the renovation is complete in June 2020,” said Gumke.
