Join the Central PA Chapter of IFMA and Wohlsen Construction for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the new Marquee Building at the Pennsylvania State Police Academy in Hershey, PA. This impressive project is part of a major campus transformation that includes 34 new buildings designed to support the training of future generations of cadets.

When complete, the campus will feature new dormitories, classrooms, an auditorium, a physical education center, an indoor shooting range, indoor and outdoor tactical training areas, a stables complex, and extensive site improvements — all designed to create a modern, high-performance training environment.

What to Expect:

  • Teamwork in ExecutionGain insights into how the team—owner, builder, and designer—worked in collaboration to bring this vision to life.
  • Facility Management Considerations – Learn about early design decisions made to help make facility management easier and more cost effective.
  • Phased Construction on an Active Campus – Discover how a large-scale project involving 34 buildings is planned and executed in an active campus.
  • Generational Impact – Learn how this investment will support the Pennsylvania State Police mission and influence training for decades to come.

Whether you’re a facility manager, business partner, service provider, or simply curious about how large, phased projects come together, this tour offers a unique opportunity to see high-performance construction in action and learn from the team behind it.

Stay for Happy Hour

After the tour, continue the conversation and connect with fellow attendees at Troegs Brewing Company. Enjoy a relaxed networking atmosphere with drinks, appetizers, and great company — the perfect way to wrap up an exclusive IFMA experience.
