College signs lease for new Huntingdon Center facility.

Pennsylvania Highlands Community College has signed a lease with DB Miller Incorporated, which will create a permanent location for the College’s Huntingdon Center. “This is something the College has been focusing on for over a year” said Dr. Walter Asonevich, President of Pennsylvania Highlands. “We are very excited to have a permanent home in Huntingdon”. The College has been providing classes in various locations throughout Huntingdon County since fall 2009.

Renovations on a section of the building located at 6311 Margy Drive will begin before the end of the year and the College plans to move in to the location in late spring of 2011.

Members of the College’s Advisory Board, which is comprised of Huntingdon County business, education, and community leaders, assisted in finding a suitable location for the Center. Dr. Asonevich recognized the value of having such a Board advise the College’s leaders on the educational needs of Huntingdon County. “We understand that the needs in this Center may differ from the needs at our other locations. That is why having input from a local Advisory Board is so critical.”

Dr. Asonevich also acknowledged the commitment of DB Miller Incorporated in making the Huntingdon Center a reality. “The Miller family has been so supportive of our efforts. They have embraced this project from the start and we feel very fortunate to be working with them.”
