Hot-dip galvanizing was chosen for the corrosion performance and the longevity of the coating.

Work on the Lancaster Medical Center began in May of 2020 and brought well-paying jobs to the local Lancaster area. Penn State partnered with Barton Mallow Alexander, HKS Architects, and Oak Tree Development Group. Stewart Amos a local fabricator in the area was awarded the steel package for this project. The building stands 6 stories high. Hot-dip galvanizing was chosen for the corrosion performance and the longevity of the coating. Over the course of time this will minimize preventative maintenance and allow the steel framing to last for decades to come.
