McKean Hall
McKean Hall was named after Thomas McKean, the 2nd Governor of Pennsylvania (1799-1808).
McKean Hall, built in 1964 and renovated in 2018, is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students modern amenities and conveniences, such as climate-control. McKean Hall is located in the southeast quad of the East Housing area and in close proximity to the The Arboretum at Penn State, Palmer Museum of Art, Intramural (IM) Building, Field Hockey Complex, Pegula Ice Arena, Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field, and Penn State Berkey Creamery.
Findlay and Johnston Commons Buildings support students living in East Halls.
