Sproul Hall

Sproul Hall was named after William C. Sproul, the 27th Governor of Pennsylvania (1919-1923).
Sproul Hall, originally built in 1966 and renovated in 2020, is an updated version of a traditional residence hall providing students modern amenities and conveniences, such as climate-control. The ground floor and basement feature a living room, kitchen, laundry room, study space, quiet/wellness lounge, and a knowledge station. The building offers coed housing, and bedrooms feature flexible furniture that allows students to arrange their room in a number of different ways. Sproul Hall offers multiple private, single-user bathrooms located on the floor that are shared by all residents. Sproul Hall is located in the towers quad in the northwest corner of the East Housing area and in close proximity to the The Arboretum at Penn State, Palmer Museum of Art, Intramural (IM) Building, McCoy Natatorium, and Penn State Berkey Creamery.
Findlay and Johnston Commons Buildings support students living in East Halls.
