'''Commonwealth University-Lock Haven''' ('''LHU''') is a [[public university]] in [[Lock Haven, Pennsylvania]], United States. It is part of the [[Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education]] (PASSHE). The main campus covers {{convert|200|acre}} and the branch campus in [[Clearfield, Pennsylvania|Clearfield]] covers {{convert|12.9|acre}}.<ref>[http://www.lhup.edu/campus/index.htm LHU Campus Map] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061217032158/http://www.lhup.edu/campus/index.htm |date=December 17, 2006 }}.</ref> It offers 69 undergraduate programs and 4&nbsp;graduate programs.

==History==
LHU was founded in 1870 as the '''Central State Normal School'''. By 1927 it was known as the '''State Teachers College in Lock Haven''' and in 1960 the name was changed to '''Lock Haven State College'''. In 1983, the school joined the [[Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education]] (PASSHE) and became known as '''Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania'''. The Clearfield campus in [[Clearfield, Pennsylvania]] was established in 1989.

LHU's previous president [[Craig Dean Willis]] retired from Lock Haven in 2004. The vacancy left by Willis was promptly filled by [[Keith T. Miller]]. Upon Miller's departure, Barbara Dixon, former president of [[Truman State University]] was appointed Interim President in 2010.<ref>[http://www.passhe.edu/executive/systemrelations/Communications/media/Pages/nrd.aspx?q=434] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527094114/http://www.passhe.edu/executive/systemrelations/Communications/media/Pages/nrd.aspx?q=434|date=May 27, 2010}}</ref> In 2011, Michael Fiorentino, Jr. became the president, until his retirement in 2018. The current president of Lock Haven University is [[Robert Pignatello]].

In July 2021, Pennsylvania higher education officials announced that Lock Haven would merge with [[Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania|Bloomsburg]] and [[Mansfield University of Pennsylvania|Mansfield]] Universities in response to financial difficulties and declining enrollment, and each institution would represent a campus of a single university.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Snyder |first1=Susan |title=In unanimous vote, state system merges Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield; California, Clarion and Edinboro universities |url=https://www.mcall.com/news/pennsylvania/mc-nws-pa-state-university-merger-20210714-k4n6g4uto5hgndsfbvuyaidqzm-story.html |website=Call.com |date=July 14, 2021 |publisher=The Morning Call/Tribune News Service |access-date=August 8, 2021 }}</ref> In March 2022, the new institution was created to oversee the three universities, and was named the [[Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania]]. This consolidation was different from the PASSHE consolidation in Western Pennsylvania that also took place in July 2022, which saw the former California, Clarion, and Edinboro universities become campuses of the new [[Pennsylvania Western University]] and adopt the academic brand name of "PennWest ''Location''". By contrast, "Commonwealth University" is not being used as a public-facing brand.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Murphy |first1=Jan |title=Three Pa. state universities are given a new name that surprisingly wasn't already taken |url=https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/03/three-pa-state-universities-are-given-a-new-name-that-surprisingly-wasnt-already-taken.html |access-date=March 8, 2022 |work=[[pennlive]] |date=March 2, 2022 |language=en }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Whitford |first1=Emma |title=Pa.

Akeley Hall, completed in 1930, is one of the oldest buildings on campus. It was originally constructed as a laboratory school but now houses the [[Computer Science]], Accounting and Management Department as well as many computer labs.

Sullivan Hall was originally constructed as a library in 1938, and was demolished in 2016 and replaced with an amphitheater. The three-story structure housed The Office of the President, Offices for the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, Vice President of Student Affairs, and the Vice President for Finance, Administration, and Technology, Housing, Social Equity, Cultural Diversity, Institutional Research, and Planning and Assessment and
The Linda J. Emanuel Teaching and Learning Center.

The main building of Ulmer Hall, renovated in 1996, was constructed in 1952 and contains laboratories for the natural and earth sciences and classrooms. A building addition in 1969 added a greenhouse, planetarium, additional classrooms, laboratories and research facilities. A four-million dollar renovation<ref>[http://www.passhe.edu/inside/anf/Fac/Procurement/Documents/Project%20List,%20University%20Funded,%202014%2004%2023.pdf] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141214114122/http://www.passhe.edu/inside/anf/Fac/Procurement/Documents/Project%20List,%20University%20Funded,%202014%2004%2023.pdf|date=December 14, 2014}}</ref> was completed in 2014 to transfer many services to the building such as the ROTC program, the Registrar's Office and Financial Aid, as well as Counseling Services. Ulmer Hall also houses the executive suite which includes the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Vice President for Enrollment Management.

Russell Hall was originally constructed as a residence hall and was the last single-sex residence hall on campus, housing women only until it was renovated to house administrative offices. It has been recently demolished and replaced by a green space which is part of the University Commons encompassing the space that previously also included Sullivan Hall. Raub Hall was completed in 1964.

===Stevenson Library===
Lock Haven University and its library began in 1870 as the Central State Normal School. All classrooms, dormitories, the dining room, the library, and the auxiliary rooms were housed in the original Sullivan Hall, located approximately where North Hall stands. During the night of December 9, 1888, the entire structure burned to the ground. For the next 16&nbsp;years, the library needs were met by reading rooms provided by two campus literary societies, The Price Literary Society and the Shakespeare Society.

[[File:Lock Haven University Stevenson Library.jpg|thumb|The main entrance to Stevenson Library]]
In 1904, the library was reorganized. Caroline R. Flickinger was the first librarian. Since that time there has been a steady growth in the number and type of library materials and services. This growth has taken the library through two previous buildings into this structure. The present building was designed to be flexible enough to provide for current needs and to allow future development. Currently, an online public access catalog and an automated circulation system are in place. This online catalog is available on the campus network.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}

The library is named for a citizen of Lock Haven, George B. Stevenson (1889&ndash;1965). He served for many years as a Pennsylvania State Senator. After he retired, he was appointed the librarian of the state senate. Stevenson also served as a mayor of Lock Haven, as postmaster, and as a trustee of the university. The system of dams on the West Branch valley of the Susquehanna River was a concept of Senator Stevenson.
<!--Robert S. Bravard, Director of Library Services (1970–1998)-->

Stevenson Library is the university's library. Its archive collection includes every student newspaper (''The Eagle Eye'') since 1965, as well as every yearbook (''The Praeco'') since 1913 until it was discontinued in 1980; and was reinstated in 2006.

The Children's Library on the ground floor of the building contains over 20,000&nbsp;children's books.<ref>[http://www.lhup.edu/library/Children/child.htm Children's Library] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070113031308/http://www.lhup.edu/library/Children/child.htm |date=January 13, 2007 }}.
