Beam Hall
Beam Hall was named after Adam Leland Beam. Beam was a Penn State Faculty Member (1916-1954), and a Professor Emeritus of Dairy Production in 1954. Beam was the Head of Dairy Husbandry, and an Assistant Director of Resident Instruction and Short Courses in Agriculture and Home Economics (1951-1954).
Beam Hall was built in 1959 and renovated in 2009 transforming the traditional residence hall to suite-style living to provide modern amenities and conveniences. Suites are comprised of two bedrooms and a shared bathroom for four students. Beam Hall is located in the Arts District and is in close proximity to Palmer Museum of Art, The Arboretum at Penn State, Stuckeman Family Building, Business Building, and Forum Building.
Warnock Commons supports students living in North Halls.
