This new community outreach center is being developed to promote education and spark an interest in the technology fields among pre-school and K-12 students in an underserved area of the City of Lancaster.

Located adjacent to the college’s Greiner Campus for Advanced Manufacturing, the new bi-level facility will offer varied community support and educational programming with a focus on advancing skills of potential future college students. Spaces include classrooms and a makerspace laboratory to host hands-on educational activities, a large community room for public events and meetings, an infant and pre-school early learning center, and administrative offices.

The project site originally housed a city maintenance garage which will be demolished and the site reconfigured to better engage visitors, accommodate additional parking and a playground, and establish a direct pedestrian connection on the upper level to the adjacent campus building. The aesthetic of the new building incorporates a mix of glass, brick, and metal panel materials to provide a welcoming presence and complement the character of the Greiner Campus.
