Theatre Offers Free In-Person Performances for Radium Girls

2/24/2021

The York College Theatre Department presents Radium Girls running February 25-28th. Both live-streamed and in-person performances will be available to the public. In-person seating will be limited but the live-streamed performances on Thursday and Friday are available to anyone. The performances will be held at 7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday and 2:00 pm Sunday in Gurganus Hall.

Radium Girls is D.W. Gregory’s gripping drama inspired by the true story of female laborers who were poisoned and killed by their factory’s radium-based paint. Though Radium Girls ranges from 1918 through the 1940s, the bulk of the narrative is centered on events in New Jersey in the mid-1920s.

Come Rain, Snow, or Freezing Fog: Hulitt Hall Renovations Move Forward at York College

2/10/2021

Despite an onslaught of wintry conditions, JLC, Inc. continues to move renovations forward for Hulitt Hall, the oldest original structure on the York College campus. Renovation plans were designed to retain as much of the original floor plan as possible but a few changes were inevitable due to changing codes and building requirements.

Making the facility ADA compliant meant an addition on the building’s east side that will serve as the main campus entry. Drew Jensen, contractor in charge of the project said, “Making a 117-year-old building accessible, retaining its appearance and assuring structural integrity was a trick that involved a consulting engineer and lots of creativity. The roofline will change, but it is being altered in a way that aligns with the original structure and preserves its appearance. I think alumni and friends will be pleased with the result.”
