Although details will not be finalized until summer 2020, current renovation plans call for construction of a new entryway designed to match the original structure, several interior features to make the building ADA compliant and an overall design that will better serve the needs of current students. Graham Design USA, Inc. has been chosen as the architect of record for the project. During its history, Hulitt Hall has served many purposes. Early in its history it was the college’s music conservatory but later served for many years as a dormitory, providing student housing until 1972. Since that time, Hulitt Hall has been used mostly for offices and classrooms. Throughout much of its history it was also home for the campus post office. Brent Magner, vice president for advancement, noted, “Hulitt Hall renovations combined with the recent $2.25 million Title III grant from the Department of Education gives us an opportunity to explore a broad collection of initiatives that will assure better service for students from their first campus visit, through their student days and into their years when they return as alumni. We are engaged in planning a new fundraising effort that we hope to share with our alumni and friends before the end of 2020.” Hulitt Hall is the oldest surviving original structure on the York College campus. The grant that will fund the Hulitt Hall renovation comes from a source wishing to remain anonymous. In 1903, Hulitt Hall joined "Old Main" as the second mainstay building on the York College campus. McGehee Hall, built originally as a gymnasium in 1911, became the third main building on campus, currently housing the student center and classrooms.
