Stalker Hall is the current home of theCollege of Arts and Sciences atIndiana State University. Originally named the Education & Social Studies Building upon completion in 1954, it was renamed Stalker Hall in 1966 in honor ofFrancis Marion Stalker, a longtime member of the faculty from 1892 to 1929.

From 2004 to 2005, it underwent a $5.5 million renovation which addressed structural, technological and cosmetic deficiencies. It is now fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act standards.^[1]

• Architect: Ralph O. Yeager
• Contractor: J.L. Simmons Co., Inc. and Nehf Hardware & Electric Co., Terre Haute
• Initial Cost: ~$920,000
• Renovated: 2004–2006 Classrooms now contain the latest technology, Additional elevators were added, Energy-efficient windows and doors were installed, A new facade was added to the southern entrance of building, "tying" it to the Quadrangle.
• In the early 1950s, a building stood directly behind Stalker Hall to the south, blocking Stalker Hall from the central campus area known as 'the quadrangle'. Eventually, this structure was demolished, leaving Stalker Hall with better access to the university's historic quadrangle, though its 'back' was facing it. As such, part of the redesign conducted in 2004 and 2005 was to turn the main entrance of Stalker Hall towards the quadrangle.
• Notes: This is the second Indiana State University building to bear the nameStalker Hall, the initial building was the 'Laboratory School' constructed in 1905 and razed in 1953.
