In 2006 York County School of Technology underwent construction and acquired two additional wings, which are now the "Manufacturing and Transportation" and the "Engineering and Construction" academies. The "Arts and Human Services" academy was remodeled during the school year of 2007.

In 2019 construction began on a new indoor track and athletic facilities. It was to be completed in early 2020 but due to COVID-19 it was delayed and it was finished in 2021. The new addition was named the "Fieldhouse".
