Stone Hall was originally built in 1964 and renovated in 2023-2024 to provide students 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. Buildings are co-ed by room (each room is a single-gender, but may be next to a room of opposite gender). The ground floor features a lounge, kitchen, knowledge station, meeting room, movement room, and a quiet room. Stone Hall is located in close proximity to the IM Building, Pegula Ice Arena, and the Arboretum in the northeastern quad of East Housing Area.

Stone Hall was named after William A. Stone, the 22nd Governor of Pennsylvania (1899-1903).
