Brill Exterior

Brill Hall is named after Julia Gregg Brill, who was the first woman professor in the English Department at Penn State. Brill was the first woman elected to the Penn State Alumni Council. Brill was awarded the first Penn State Woman of the Year award in 1958.

Brill Hall, built in 2004, provides students with modern amenities and conveniences such as air conditioning. Each floor is clustered into houses made up of 8 to 22 student rooms. A study/social space and laundry facility are located in each house. The building offers coed housing, and bedrooms feature flexible furniture that allow students to arrange their room  in a number of different ways. Unlike traditional style residence halls, Brill Hall provides the residents with a private bath in each room. All residents of Eastview Terrace can utilize the meeting room, conference room, and kitchen located in Brill Hall. Brill Hall is located in Eastview Terrace, South Halls and near the Millennium Science Complex,  White BuildingHUB-Robeson Center, and is in close proximity to downtown State College. The Redifer Commons supports students living in Eastview Terrace.
