Real Estate Frequently Asked Questions

#	Question	Answer
1.	What did the Board of Trustees approve on June 2, 2026?	The Board approved the following items: The sale or lease of seven buildings The consolidation of instructional and administrative operations into retained buildings Renovations to retained buildings funded by sale proceeds after satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and related transaction costs Continued exploration of additional property sale or lease opportunities subject to further Board approval
2.	Which buildings are being sold or leased?	The seven buildings approved for sale or lease are: Gettysburg Campus building Harrisburg Campus Midtown 1 building Harrisburg Campus John N. Hall Technology Center Harrisburg Campus Ted Lick Administration Building Lancaster Campus Main Building York Campus Cytec building York Campus William F. Goodling Center
3.	Is HACC closing any campuses?	No. All five HACC campuses remain open. Rightsizing means using the space we keep more intentionally, not closing any campus.
4.	When will the sales be finalized?	Sales could be completed no sooner than 60 days from listing. The full consolidation plan is expected to be executed in phases over the next couple of years. The Board of Trustees will review and approve each final sale or lease agreement.
5.	Will any classes be disrupted?	No. Before any anticipated sale, consolidation moves will already have occurred and course schedules will be updated accordingly.
6.	Where will York Campus classes be held?	Beginning summer 2026, York classes and offices will move from Cytec and William F. Goodling Center into the Governor George M. Leader Building and Campus Support Services building. The York Campus serves as the pilot for the College’s broader rightsizing strategy.
7.	Will HACC leave Gettysburg?	No. HACC will continue to serve the Gettysburg community. The plan is to find a buyer for the current Gettysburg Campus building and lease a smaller, more efficient space in the Gettysburg area.
8.	Will there be more changes in Lebanon?	Following a prior consolidation, HACC's Lebanon Campus operates within Lebanon Valley College. This partnership model is an example of prior consolidation from a large facility into a smaller, more flexible footprint, and it demonstrates that rightsizing can both reduce institutional cost and strengthen student outcomes.
9.	How will sale proceeds be used?	Sale proceeds will be applied to: Satisfying outstanding debt obligations and related transaction costs Renovating retained buildings necessary to support consolidated operations Addressing deferred maintenance at retained facilities Renovations and consolidation-related capital improvements will be funded only from transaction proceeds remaining after satisfaction of outstanding debt obligations and related transaction costs.
10.	How are York Campus consolidation costs being managed?	The York Campus consolidation includes vacating Cytec and the William F. Goodling Center, consolidating operations and services and renovating the Governor George M. Leader Building and Campus Support Services buildings. The College anticipates similar transition and renovation expenses may be necessary as additional campus consolidation initiatives are evaluated and implemented in support of long-term institutional sustainability.
11.	What is "rightsizing" the College's real estate?	Rightsizing means aligning the size of HACC's physical footprint with current and projected student demand. Today, only about 20% of available classroom hours are scheduled and 77 of our 359 instructional rooms had zero scheduled meetings during the spring 2026 semester. Rightsizing reduces what the College owes and what it pays to maintain while concentrating activity into fuller, more vibrant spaces.
12.	Why are these changes happening now?	These decisions are grounded in the following realities: Data - About 20% of room-hours are being used, with 77 unused rooms representing 2,112 idle seats. Financials - The College is burdened by significant debt obligations and deferred maintenance liabilities across its facilities. Timing - Acting now while the College has control of the process is far better than acting under crisis pressure later.
13.	Will employees be affected by consolidation?	Workspace changes will include the adoption of shared multi-purpose flex rooms (reservable for distance education classes, office hours, advising and confidential meetings) and open shared flex office space for everyday work. Specific timelines and layouts will be communicated to employees in advance.
14.	Will HACC be reclaiming space currently leased to third-party tenants?	In some cases, yes. Where HACC currently leases space to third-party tenants and that space is needed to absorb consolidated operations, the College will pursue non-renewal, modification or termination of those leases at the appropriate time and in accordance with the terms of each agreement.
15.	How can I follow progress?	The College will continue to update hacc.edu/Budget2026 and the appropriate subpages.
16.	Will the College lease back any space in the buildings it sells?	A lease-back arrangement is one option the College may consider, depending on the terms of an offer and whether we identify the right partner. Any such arrangement would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
17.	Has HACC hired a real estate firm to market the properties on the York Campus?	Two buildings at the York Campus are currently listed for sale through Campbell Commercial Partners. The College may expand this relationship to additional properties in the future.
18.	Has HACC set a price for the properties on the York Campus?	The Cytec building and William F. Goodling Center at the York Campus are listed at $5.15 million and $4.50 million, respectively.
19.	Has HACC received any offers for properties already up for sale?	The College has received preliminary letters of intent (LOIs) for both buildings at the York Campus. These are early-stage expressions of interest. Any prospective buyer would complete due diligence, and the College would confirm the transaction is the right fit before an LOI could advance to a sales agreement.
20.	Can you identify the parties that have expressed interest in HACC properties?	The College does not disclose prospective buyers during an active process.
