Hoyt Hall

Hoyt Hall is named after Jane W Hoyt, the first admitted women in undergraduates(1871). Hoyt served as the first preceptress and Dean of Women (1872-1874) and also as an instructor in German and French.

Hoyt Hall, originally built in 1957 and renovated in 2014, is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students modern amenities and conveniences, such as climate-control. The building features a laundry room, living area spaces, kitchen, meeting rooms, and study spaces. Hoyt Hall offers coed housing, and bedrooms feature flexible furniture that allows students to arrange their room in a number of different ways. The building offers multiple private, single-user bathrooms located on the floor that are shared by all residents. Hoyt Hall is located in South Halls and near the White Building, HUB-Robeson Center, and is in close proximity to downtown State College.

Redifer Commons supports students living in South Halls.
