Lycoming College - Lycoming College Campus - Past and Present

A building is demolished to make room for the construction of North Hall. It was first occupied in 1965 and named North Hall.

Workers are in the process of demolishing the old Science Building. The building was originally used as part of the Flock's Brewery. Lycoming College acquired it in 1951, and converted it to a science facility in 1956-57. According to a 1958 newspaper article, the interior was painted and plastered, acoustical tiles were installed in the ceilings, and asphalt floors were laid. Improvements were also made to the electrical and plumbing systems. According to the 1987-88 Academic Bulletin, the building housed biology and chemistry laboratories, classrooms, a lecture hall, and a greenhouse, and was used until 1988. It then served as a storage center for the Buildings and Grounds department until its demolition.

Presentation in the Detwiler Planetarium, located in the Academic Center. The photo focuses on the telescope. The planetarium sky, with a thirty-foot dome, is used for courses in astronomy, and for sky shows for the general public and school children. The 30-foot domed, Spitz-model planetarium features a stereophonic sound system. It was named in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Detwiter, of Williamsport. Mr. Detwiler was a member of the board of directors and active in community affairs, including working with the Lycoming United Fund and the Boy Scouts of America. The planetarium plaque reads: 'The gift of the Planetarium by Mrs. Leola Detwiler and Mr. and Mrs. John G. Detwiler honors the memory of William Franklin Detwiler, 1878-1950; William Franklin Detwiler Jr., 1912-1951 and Roy Erwin Detwiler, 1914-1930.'
