HLA has developed a significant presence within the State College Area School District, acting as a key architectural partner in modernizing the district’s essential infrastructure. Our work across SCASD is defined by a commitment to transforming functional spaces into high-performance environments that serve both students and administrative staff. From large-scale building overhauls to targeted interior renovations, we navigate the specific regulatory and logistical requirements of public school facilities to deliver spaces that are durable, efficient, and visually cohesive.



Our portfolio with the district includes diverse projects such as the Mount Nittany Middle School cafeteria renovation, where we focused on creating a more dynamic and welcoming student environment. We have also led extensive office and administrative renovations at Panorama Village, as well as critical upgrades to the North Building and the district’s Physical Plant. Across every project, whether it is a central office or a student hub, HLA balances the practical demands of a school district with a modern design sensibility, ensuring that these facilities support the district's long-term operational goals and provide a professional, inspiring backdrop for the local educational community.
