In 1990 the College began offering evening only classes leading to associate degree and certificate programs in the Everett Area High School. Then in 1994 a building was constructed to house the Bedford County Campus. The facility is located on seven acres with a 110 space parking area adjacent to the campus. The building uses a unique geothermal HVAC system that has allowed operating costs to remain at a minimum. The $2.3 million facility was provided through funding from the Bedford County Commissioners, the Southern Tier Education Council, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with the land leased by the Everett Area School District. The Bedford County Regional Education Foundation has provided total financial support for furnishing the campus facility. The 19,500 square foot facility located in Everett, Pennsylvania, houses ten classrooms including two computer labs and three telecourse classrooms; learning commons, student lounge, conference room and faculty offices.
