Stansbury Hall, named after Harry Stansbury (d. 1966), former WVU Athletic Director , is a building on the Downtown Campus of West Virginia University. Opened in 1929 as the WVU Field House, just to the southwest of "Old" Mountaineer Field, this was the home of WVU basketball until 1970, when the WVU Coliseum was opened. This was the home floor during the days of Hot Rod Hundley and Jerry West.
Today the building is the home of the English and Philosophy Departments, the Program for Humanities, the Program for Religious Studies, the Center for Writing Excellence, the Liberal Studies Program, and the WVU Writing Center. Army and Air Force ROTC programs are also housed here.
