Leete Hall

Leete Hall was named after Dr. John Hopkins Leete. Leete was a Penn State Faculty Member (1895-1906), a Math Professor, Secretary of Faculty, Registrar (1895-1906). Leete was the first Dean of the College of Engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology and served as the Director of the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh. Leete and Fred Lewis Pattee were founders of the Penn State Thespians (1897-1898).

Leete Hall was built in 1959 and renovated in 2005 transforming the traditional residence hall to suite-style living to provide modern amenities and conveniences. Suites are comprised of two bedrooms and a shared bathroom for four students. Leete Hall is located in the Arts District and is in close proximity to Palmer Museum of Art, The Arboretum at Penn State, Stuckeman Family Building, Business Building, and Forum Building.

Warnock Commons supports students living in North Halls.
