Thank you for joining us on the tour of HACC’s Harrisburg Campus.
We welcome students from surrounding counties, local school districts,
and even all worldwide through our online learning options.
The campus spans over 200 acres, offering an experience and abundance of resources
to help nourish the mind and promote a peaceful and creative atmosphere.
Our first stop on our tour is the Bruce E. Cooper Student Center.
As you walk through the building, you will find students gathered by the fireplace studying,
enjoying a special coffee from a HACC barista,
or eating lunch prepared by HACC’s culinary students at the well-renowned Chef’s Apprentice.
This building is not only a hub for student gatherings,
but it also includes student services like admissions, financial aid, and the Welcome Center.
Upstairs is a modern lounge for students to relax in between classes or to study.
The lounge is equipped with a TV and a full-size chess board.
Additionally, the upstairs is where members of the Student Government Association, or SGA,
and Student Programming Board meet.
Both are student-run organizations.
SGA is designed to represent all students and advocate for their rights,
and the student programming board plans exciting, engaging and enjoyable campus events.
The next stop on our tour is the Rose Lehrman Arts Center.
It houses two theatres - a small Studio Theatre and the large Auditorium Theatre -
in addition to classrooms and facilities for the Theatre, Music, and Fine Art Programs.
Our students perform in the theatres for the public
and the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery offers exhibitions of national, and international artists.
We encourage you to come and enjoy the arts at HACC!
Whitaker Hall is where HACC’s Public Safety and Security offices are located.
Along with providing a safe environment for students, employees and visitors,
the security officers provide security escorts and lock-out and jump-start vehicle services.
The McCormick Library allows students to research,
use computers and complete assignments in a quiet atmosphere.
It’s also the home to our tutoring labs, where students or professors
are available to answer your questions.
Students can also visit the online learning commons at hacc.edu.
As you leave the library and head to the Select Medical Health Education Pavilion,
you will find students sitting outside by the fountain.
The Select Medical Health Education Pavilion is made from recycled material.
It houses all of HACC’s competitive health career programs.
For example, the dental clinic is available for our Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting Programs.
Students receive opportunities to perform routine oral exams
to gain hands-on experience and knowledge.
Our well-respected Nursing Program includes nursing simulation labs
to help prepare our students to work in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care facilities.
The Clyde E. Blocker Hall is connected to the Select Medical Building.
This is where we have ultrasound labs, surgical technology labs,
x-ray machines, and more to help create a hands-on experience for students.
The J. W. Evans Physical Education Building houses a basketball court,
weight room, racquetball court, dance studio and two pools.
Outside there are two full-length soccer fields, tennis courts and a volleyball court.
This is also the home of our intercollegiate sports.
All HACC students and alumni can utilize this recreational space.
HACC’s Graphic Design and Photography programs are located in the John Hall Technology Center.
As you continue around campus, you will see the Overholt bookstore.
Students can purchase books, supplies for classes, HACC clothes and accessories.
The bookstore is an Apple-authorized campus store
that allows you to purchase and repair Mac products.
From the law enforcement training and Fire Training Program, to commercial truck driving,
the Senator John J. Shumaker Public Safety Center is where thousands of students
have participated in public safety training programs.
You may see firefighters training outside as you drive on interstate 81.
Here at HACC, our resources go beyond the classroom.
We recognize our students are juggling work, school, family and many other responsibilities.
We strive to help alleviate these stresses.
For example, the U-GRO Learning Centre is on the Harrisburg Campus.
It is open to HACC students, employees and the community for on-site daycare.
We hope you will join us to start your journey in furthering your education to a brighter, successful future -
not just for you but for generations to come.
You set the bar. HACC will help you reach it.
