Shunk Hall
Shunk Hall is named after the tenth Pennsylvania governor, Francis R. Shunk.
Shunk Hall, built in 1964, is a classic traditional residence hall. Shunk 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. Shunk Hall is coed with male and female students assigned to designated floors with a dedicated bathroom on the floor for male or female students. Shunk 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.
