Stephens Hall
Stephens Hall is named after Anna Stephens. Stephens became a staff physician at Penn State College in 1941. She was a member of the Centre Medical Society, the Penn State Medical Society, and the American Medical Society. Stephens also worked with the American Diabetes Association and Alpha Omega Alpha, a medical pro scholastic fraternity.
Stephens Hall, originally built in 1957 and renovated in 2014, 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 space, kitchen, meeting room, and study space. Stephens 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. Stephens Hall is located in South Halls and near the White Building, HUB-Robeson Center, and is in close proximity to downtown State College.
Redifer Commons supports students living in South Halls.
