Haller Hall is named for Barbara S Haller. Active on campus and her community, Haller was an honorary member of Chi Omega sorority, and an advisor to the Panhellenic Council and Penn State chapter of Mortar Board. She was a leader in registering State College for their first vote in 1920.

Haller Hall, originally built in 1957 and renovated in 2013, is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students modern amenities and conveniences, such as climate-control. The building features a laundry room, living area spaces, kitchen, meeting rooms, and study spaces. Haller Hall offers coed housing, and bedrooms feature flexible furniture that allows students to arrange their room in a number of different ways. The building offers multiple private, single-user bathrooms located on the floor that are shared by all residents. Haller Hall is located in South Halls and near the White BuildingHUB-Robeson Center, and is in close proximity to downtown State College.

Redifer Commons supports students living in South Halls.
