Brill Hall
Brill Hall is named after Julia Gregg Brill (1891-1985), who was the first woman professor in the English Department at Penn State. In 1930, Brill was the first woman elected to the Penn State Alumni Council. In 1958, Brill was awarded the first Penn State Woman of the Year award. She also was a member of the Board of Directors for the Penn State Foundation and was a friend and counselor to many students.
Brill Hall, built in 2004, provides students with modern amenities and conveniences such as air conditioning. Each floor is clustered into houses made up of 8 to 22 student rooms. All residents of Eastview Terrace can utilize the meeting room, conference room, and kitchen located in Brill Hall. Brill Hall is located in Eastview Terrace, South Halls and near the Millennium Science Complex, White Building, HUB-Robeson Center, and is in close proximity to downtown State College.
Redifer Commons supports students living in Eastview Terrace.
