York College Accessibility and Location The main campus of York College is north of East Hill Park and Levitt Stadium, between 8th and 10th Streets and between Delaware and Blackburn or Kiplinger Avenues. It also includes property between Mayhew and Delaware north to 12th Street. In 1995, the four-acre maintenance facility on Ninth Street was added to the Cherry Hill property just east of the main campus. South Campus on Blackburn Avenue, South across 6th Street from East Hill Park was also acquired in 1995. Total physical plant exceeds 50 acres of land and over 700,000 square feet of buildings. Childress Hall provides handicapped-accessible space for classrooms. Built in 1958, it is named for the 12th President of York College, and the first under the auspices of the churches of Christ, Harvey A. Childress. Brother Childress, a minister of the Gospel, worked extensively in the upper Midwest, and later served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Dean Sack Hall of Science was originally built in 1917 as the East Ward/Willard Elementary School of the York Public Schools. The North wing was added in 1957. The entire site was acquired by the College in 1995 through the gracious financial assistance of the late Dean Sack, LL.D., Founder and Chairman of the Board of York State Bank. The Dean Sack Science Wing is handicapped-accessible and has the Office of the President suite (with the Brock Conference Room), classrooms, Office of the Registrar, Financial Aid, and Business Office. It also has the laboratories for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The original structure houses the Science and Mathematics faculty offices, Admissions, and additional classrooms. The Freeman Physical Education Center, built in 1974 and renovated in 1994, provides 27,000 square feet for courts, classrooms, locker and weight rooms, and offices for the Athletic and Physical Education departments. The upper and lower levels are handicapped-accessible via their own external entrances. The Center is named for Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Freeman, long-time local supporters of York College. Gurganus Hall, named for Howard Gurganus, former Assistant to the President and longtime supporter of York College, provides classroom, practice and production facilities for theater and music, as well as office space. The Holthus Fieldhouse, built in 2003, is a heated 35,000 sq. foot sports practice facility. The surface is covered with Astroturf and an elevated 200 yard conditioning track circles the interior. It is located three blocks east of the Freeman Center at 12th and Maine and the brick frontage resembles the architecture of the Phyllis J. Mackey Center. It is named after the C.G. “Kelly” Holthus Family, for their longtime support of the college and their gift towards the building’s construction. Hulitt Hall, built in 1903, currently houses classrooms (one with SmartBoard and the other with Sympodium technology), the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of the College and many other members of the faculty. It is named after John Hulitt (member of the United Brethren Church from Hillsboro, Ohio), who, in 1902, gave the initial $5,000 towards its construction. Levitt Library, built in 1969, is named for Mr. Elijah A. Levitt, prominent local businessman and philanthropist, to honor his more than 40 years of support of York College. Mrs. Lorraine Levitt, his widow, helped burn the mortgage on October 11th, 1996. It houses the Library proper, audio-visual resources, classrooms, faculty offices, the Computer Laboratory with 18 computers and Sympodium technology for classes on the second floor, and the Carruth Academic Technology Center with 16 computer workstations on the main floor. The Carruth ATC, dedicated Oct. 11, 1996, is named for Feral W. Carruth, a Christian businessman and farmer from Texas. Brother Carruth's foresight and generosity resulted in funding this project through an estate gift. McCloud Hall, erected in 1964, has accommodations for 132 men on three floors, including a parlor, laundry facilities, and a recreation room. It is named for Flora S. McCloud, wife of C. A. McCloud, a prominent businessman of York, Nebraska, who served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for 15 years. The McCloud Bookstore in the Phyllis J. Mackey Center is also named for the McCloud family. 168
