Leete Hall
Leete Hall was built in 1959 and renovated in 2005 transforming the traditional residence hall to suite-style living and providing modern amenities and conveniences. Leete is located in the Arts District and is in close proximity to Palmer Museum of Art, Paterno Library, Forum Building, and Business Building.
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 also the first Dean of the College of Engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology. In addition, he served as the Director of the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh. Leete and Fred Lewis Pattee were founders of the Penn State Thespians (1897-1898).
