A campus for the community

As Armstrong World Industries’ Lancaster campus celebrates its 75th anniversary, it continues to stand as a symbol of innovation, collaboration and community spirit. For three-quarters of a century, the campus has not only been a center of industry excellence—it has also served as a welcoming space where the local community can gather, learn and grow together.

That legacy was on full display in a series of recent events that brought together students, professionals and community partners. The Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology Architecture Club hosted an Employer Town Hall on campus, offering students meaningful engagement with industry professionals.

“Armstrong’s thoughtfully designed campus spaces provided an inspiring and welcoming environment for the TSCT Architecture Club’s event, helping grow meaningful connections between our students and industry leaders,” said Tedd Williams, Assistant Professor at the College.

In celebration of Earth Day, Armstrong hosted guest speakers from the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority and DECA City Farms. These sessions focused on sustainability, waste reduction, and the future of urban agriculture—topics that reflect Armstrong’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

Additionally, Armstrong proudly hosted the Lancaster Chamber’s Professional Women’s Forum, providing a space for women across industries to connect, share experiences, and support one another in professional growth. The forum underscored the campus’s ongoing dedication to empowering individuals and fostering inclusive leadership across the community.

These events are just the latest examples of how the Lancaster campus continues to evolve as a true “campus for the community.” As Armstrong celebrates the milestone of 75 years, they remain deeply rooted in the values that shaped their history while continuing to build meaningful connections that shape the future.
