Photographic Memory
As the architecture & sustainable design program celebrates a new home and new Bachelor of Architecture degree (implemented in Fall 2023), we took a look into the Penn College Archives and found these gems from decades past. Can you help us identify the who, what, where and when behind any of these images?

In the last Photographic Memory
Thank you to readers Jan Twardowski and Aaron Sica, who helped us identify some of the students in this Fall 1995 photo. As an orientation leader from 1994-97, Sica, a 1999 graduate of computer information technology: data communications and networking concentration, got to know many fellow students. This group appears to be walking away from the Breuder Advanced Technology & Health Sciences center, built in 1986 on the southern end of the former Susquehanna Street.

Inside Front Cover
Dane R. Carpenter, a student in the forest technology major, evaluates a stump after felling a tree. He checks for bore-cut alignment, fiber pull, level cut-back, and more. The college’s Schneebeli Earth Science Center houses 200 acres of timber and a fully equipped sawmill. Students learn about everything from GPS/GIS technology and data collection tools to botany and wildlife.
Architecture & Sustainable Design Studio Spaces
Klump Academic Center, Room 411
Students stretch their design muscle in one of three studios that are part of a new architecture suite that welcomed students in August.
A gift from Coterra Energy through the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development’s Neighborhood Assistance Program provided funds to renovate the Klump Academic Center’s fourth floor, making it the new home for the architecture & sustainable design program (previously housed in the Hager Lifelong Education Center).
The move expanded capacity for the growing program by 60 students, doubled the department’s square footage, increased the number of studios so each student has their own desk, and created two separate general classrooms, two computer classrooms and two dedicated jury spaces.
