Ben Franklin Hall
The east side of Ben Franklin in 1956.
Built in 1930 as the Campus Laboratory School, Ben Franklin was used for student teaching facilities for kindergarten through sixth grade, including special education. Rooms for observations and demonstrations were also available. Named for Benjamin Franklin, it is one of only two buildings named for individuals without an institutional, county, or town of Bloomsburg connection. The other current building is the Scranton Commons. Today Ben Franklin houses administrative offices such as Admissions and the Registrar; student services including academic advisement, counseling and human development, financial aid, and orientation; and academic computing and computer services.
