Sproul Hall was built in 1966 and renovated in 2020. Sproul is located in "The Towers" quad in the northwestern corner of East Halls. The Towers have been renovated to provide students with modern amenities and conveniences including air conditioning. Unlike traditional residence halls, these buildings offer students private, single-user bathrooms in the hallway area that are shared by the floor. Similar to a home, each bathroom is privately used by one individual. Additional sinks are located near the bathrooms to provide quick, easy use. The ground floor and basement features lounges, kitchen, laundry room, study space, knowledge station, and a meditation room. Buildings are co-ed by room (each room is a single-gender, but maybe next to a room of opposite gender). Sproul is located in close proximity to the IM Building, Pegula Ice Arena, and the Arboretum.  

Sproul Hall was named after William C. Sproul, the 27th Governor of Pennsylvania (1919-1923).
