The Lancaster AI Hub East campus occupies the former R.R. Donnelley / LSC Communications printing plant on Greenfield Road in Lancaster's east end. The plant printed catalogs, magazines and phone books from the 1960s until it closed in 2023. Machine Investment Group bought it and the companion Harrisburg Pike plant in February 2025. Chirisa Technology Parks leads the development in a joint venture with Machine Investment Group and Blue Owl Capital. CoreWeave is the tenant for the first phase, an adaptive reuse of the existing plant, and a second building is planned. PPL is upgrading the site's 138 kV service with a new Pitney switchyard and Lampeter substation.
