Historic Preservation: January 2009 Archives

The Greenway Tech Centre has received several awards since it opened in 2007. The 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania selected it to receive a Silver Award for urban redevelopment while the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects awarded it with an Honor Award. In December 2008, the former tobacco factory became the City of York's second historic building to obtain LEED certification (York County Administrative Center was the first), and the first building of any kind in the city to reach LEED Silver status.

Nutec Group served as architect/engineer on the project, which was developed by Crispus Attucks Association and involved an early 20th century building that was originally the Eisenlohr Cigar factory/warehouse. The historic George Street facade was restored while a new, modern addition makes a high-tech statement. Overall, this building is 25% more energy efficient than a typical office building.
