Harris Hall, part of the Eastview Terrace complex, was built in 2004.  Each student has a single room with a private bath, and each floor is clustered into houses made up of 8 to 22 student rooms. A study/social space and laundry facility is located in each house.  Brill Hall, located off McKean Road, offers a meeting room, conference room, vending, and kitchen open to all residents of Eastview Terrace.

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.
