Welcome Center at HACC's Lancaster Campus gets $2M renovation



The Welcome Center at Harrisburg Area Community College’s Lancaster Campus is undergoing a $2 million renovation.

Work will include updating the entrance, lobby and bathrooms, widening hallways and repositioning student-affairs offices.


For instance, various enrollment offices will be combined in one shared space.

Counseling, advising, career services and disability services offices will be combined in another shared space.

“When the project is completed (in March), students will find increased convenience and cohesive service flow,” said Jackie Bareuther, dean of student affairs and enrollment manager for the campus.

The project also will add a Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union branch to the lobby.

Helping to fund the Welcome Center project is a $470,000 gift from the nonprofit HACC Foundation.

The Lancaster campus venture is among 13 projects across the HACC system sharing a total of nearly $1.1 million in support from the foundation.

The Welcome Center is in the campus' main building, which opened in August 2001.

The campus is expected to have an enrollment of 4,200 students this fall.
