2014-2015 Case For Support:  Facility Enhancements

To prospective students, to returning alumni, to community guests and to faculty and staff, the University setting is often representative of the overall health of the University.  The Haven is set in some of the most picturesque scenery in the world; our friends and family deserve the best facilities possible. You can help by supporting Lock Haven University facility enhancements and leave a legacy that will be remembered forever.

Upper Campus Facility Enhancements
With the recent construction of the new Science Center, Ulmer Hall no longer houses the LHU Science programs, but with a new enhancement program, it will be utilized for important classroom space and other student support services. Additionally, LHU plans on relocating the infirmary, currently located within Glennon, to within Woolridge Hall, to make it more ideally centered for students.

The convenience of additional enhancements is very important to our students and guests.
