LANCASTER, PA—High Construction Company broke ground today for WITF's new 75,000-square-foot Public Media Center in Harrisburg, Pa. Lieutenant Governor Catherine Baker Knoll participated in the event that was attended by more than 200 people.
WITF's new facility will include production studios and offices and will consolidate WITF's existing operations. The facility will feature a brick exterior with architectural metal panels. A two-story atrium, with exposed structure overhead, will span the width of the building. Glass curtain wall will flank the entire North side of the structure where offices are located on both the first and second floors.
The 12.7-acre tract for the new facility is located off of the Swatara exit of I-283, at the corner of Lindle and Keckler roads in Harrisburg, Pa. This location will give WITF excellent visibility and will make the building very accessible to the public.
WITF's facility will be the second media center to be modernized in central Pennsylvania by High Construction. High Construction recently completed an addition and renovations to the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) facility in Camp Hill, Pa.
Additional information about WITF's new facility, as well as a construction web-camera, is available at www.witf.org.
