Trippe Hall

Trippe Hall, at four stories with 251 beds, is the newest residence hall at Penn State Behrend. Trippe is located near Ohio Hall at the southwestern corner of campus and brings a new concept to Penn State Behrend: the single-use shared bathrooms. The design combines the efficiency and lower cost of the traditional hall double room layout but replaces the community bathroom on each wing with a suite of single-use bathrooms - multiple private bathrooms that each include a toilet and shower, all in the same area on the wing - that offer more privacy for residents.

The building houses both first-year and upper-class students, with most assigned to double-occupancy rooms. Each floor in Trippe Hall offers a large community room, with additional study lounges in each wing of the building. A fully equipped community kitchen is accessible to all residents.

Continuing the Behrend tradition of naming student residence halls for ships or people connected to the Battle of Lake Erie, Trippe Hall is named for the one-gun sloop that fought a long-range duel with the British ships Lady Prevost and Little Belt.
