Stone Hall
Stone Hall was named after William A. Stone, the 22nd Governor of Pennsylvania (1899-1903).
Stone Hall, originally built in 1964 and renovated in 2024, is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students modern amenities and conveniences, such as climate-control. The ground floor and basement features a living room, kitchen, laundry room, movement room, meeting room, study space, quiet/wellness lounge, and a knowledge station. The building offers coed housing, and bedrooms feature flexible furniture that allows students to arrange their room in a number of different ways. Stone Hall offers multiple private, single-user bathrooms located on the floor that are shared by all residents. Stone Hall is located in the northeast quad of the East Housing area and in close proximity to the The Arboretum at Penn State, Palmer Museum of Art, Intramural (IM) Building, Jeffery Field, Pegula Ice Arena, Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field, and Penn State Berkey Creamery.
Findlay and Johnston Commons Buildings support students living in East Halls.
