Porter Hall
Porter Hall is named after the ninth Pennsylvania governor, David Rittenhouse Porter.
Porter Hall, built in 1964, is a classic traditional residence hall. Porter Hall features a living room, recreation room, and laundry rooms. The building offers coed housing and bedrooms feature fixed and flexible furniture that allow limited ability to arrange furniture in student rooms. Porter Hall is coed with male and female students assigned to designated floors with a dedicated bathroom on the floor for male or female students. Porter Hall is located in the Pollock Housing area near the White Building, HUB-Robeson Center, and in close proximity to downtown State College.
Pollock Commons supports students living in Pollock Halls.
