Nicole - Yes, it's a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. This species began invading the Allentown, PA area in the late 1960's. It has now spread throughout the U.S. It probably made its way into your building last fall, looking for a place to overwinter. Now that the weather is warming up, it broke dormancy, and bumbled around your building. As Ryan Jones has stated, it will die indoors and then become fodder for carpet beetles.

The front leading edge of pronotum should be smooth and not wavy or "toothy". Other characters look good. Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E.
