context_page_description: York College of Pennsylvania is a private liberal arts college in Spring Garden Township, Pennsylvania. It offers more than 50 baccalaureate majors in professional programs, the sciences, and humanities to 4,400 full-time undergraduate students. It also offers master's programs in business, education, and nursing, along with a doctoral program in nursing practice.
context_section_description: The focal point of York College's 190-acre park-like campus is the mall, a grassy quad around which many of the College's academic buildings are located. The Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall is the center for artistic activity on campus. It includes three art studios, a photography facility, rehearsal and practice rooms, multi-track recording studio and mixing control room, music library, edit suites, studios, two video production facilities coordinated by a computer assisted control room, and DeMeester Recital Hall, a venue that hosts various speakers as well as performances by many of the College's musical ensembles. Also located in Wolf Hall are the York College Galleries. Comprising two adjacent galleries, the Cora Miller Gallery and the Brossman Gallery, this exhibition space serve the College, the City of York, and the communities of southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The Galleries feature a varied program of nationally touring exhibitions and invitational shows, as well as faculty and juried student shows, artist and curator lectures, workshops, book signings, and other events.
  
  Located adjacent to Wolf is Campbell Hall, home to the Student Success Division, which includes the Academic Advising Center, Academic Support Center, Career Development Center, Community Scholarship Program, Student Accessibility Services, Study Abroad Center, Undeclared Student Advising, and the Writing Center. Campbell also includes chemistry instrumentation to support majors in Chemistry, Forensic Chemistry and Pre-Med.
  Next to Campbell is the Appell Life Sciences Building, which features modern laboratory spaces, multiple specialty spaces (tissue culture suite, microscopy lab, walk-in cold room), research and preparation spaces, and student and faculty conference rooms for the departments of Biological Sciences, Behavioral Sciences and Education. Connected to Appell is the Willman Business Center, which opened in 2013 and is home to the Graham School of Business. Willman features Weinstock Lecture Hall, a 150-seat tiered auditorium, the NASDAQ Trading Laboratory, which provides students with direct access to real-time financial data from stock and commodities exchanges, and Yorkview Hall, a glass-enclosed corporate training center that offers fantastic views atop the Center. 
  The Naylor Ecological Sciences Center, located behind Appell, is a three-story structure topped by five greenhouses that provides teaching and research labs for ecological studies on plants and animals (Aquatic and Terrestrial Labs), a large aquaria space for students doing research with fish and invertebrates, a controlled growth chamber and research spaces.
  Schmidt Library, located to the right of Willman on the mall, houses print and online collections, as well as the College's Archives. Schmidt Library loans out wireless laptops for use in the building, digital cameras, camcorders, and media projection materials. The building also provides quiet study floors, technology-enhanced group study rooms, comfortable lounge areas, and wireless network connections including the outdoor courtyard. The Library underwent extensive interior renovations in 2004, adding 17 group study areas along with infrastructure and equipment to facilitate an increased focus on digital media.
  The Waldner Performing Arts Center (WPAC) and Humanities Center occupy the space between the Schmidt Library and the Iosue Student Union. The Waldner Performing Arts Center, which opened in Fall 2008, features the 705-seat York Collegiate Theatre and the 125-seat Perko Playpen Theatre, an experimental black box-type theatre. The York College Players, who perform on both stages, enjoy a scene shop, green room and costume shop. The York Collegiate Theatre hosts musical performances, nationally recognized speakers and other special events.
  The Humanities Center, home to the Departments of History and Political Science and English and Humanities, features an oral history lab and museum studies room, film study labs and a film screening room, computer labs, and Pura Vida Café. The World Language
