Earle Hall
Earle Hall was named after George Howard Earle III, the 29th Governor of PA (1935 to 1939), and was a big supporter of Penn State. He was instrumental in funding ten building projects on campus that increased the physical plant by 50%. Governor Earle also was a supporter of changing the name from “The Pennsylvania State College” to “The Pennsylvania State University".
Earle Hall opened for occupancy in fall 2017, and is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students modern amenities and conveniences. Earle Hall is located in the northeastern quad of East Halls and near the Palmer Museum of Art, The Arboretum at Penn State, Intramural (IM) Building, McCoy Natatorium, and Penn State Berkey Creamery.
Findlay and Johnston Commons Buildings support students living in East Halls.
