Harris Hall

Harris Hall is named after Dorothy V. Harris (1931-1991). Harris was a Professor of Exercise and Sport Psychology, and helped develop the nation's first graduate program in Sports Psychology. She advanced the cause of women in sport.
Harris 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. A study/social space and laundry facility are located in each house. The building offers coed housing, and bedrooms feature flexible furniture that allow students to arrange their room in a number of different ways. Unlike traditional style residence halls, Harris Hall provides the residents with a private bath in each room. All residents of Eastview Terrace can utilize the meeting room, conference room, and kitchen located in Brill Hall. Harris 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. The Redifer Commons supports students living in Eastview Terrace.
