Forker Laboratory Building remains the only building on campus that was built by Penn State. More recently, flowers and comfortable outdoor seating areas welcome students and visitors.
Formerly referred to as two separate buildings, the then-new Science Building is shown after construction was completed. Today, both Science Building and Forker Laboratory are considered the Forker Laboratory Building.
The oldest building occupied by the Shenango campus, Lecture Hall, was constructed in 1903. It was originally built as the city’s Central School, combining many of the community’s one-room schoolhouses. In 1913, this structure was one of many buildings and houses that would barely escape the worst disaster in Sharon’s history — the flood of 1913.
Sharon Hall, the second building purchased from the City of Sharon, was built in 1928, and is known by many as “the old junior high school.”

She was highly engaged in the tour and spoke personally to students that we passed on campus,” said Forbes, a senior majoring in human development and family studies.
