Hastings College The 1882 Residence Hall

Hastings, NE

Change is taking shape on Hastings College’s campus. As the demand for student housing grows, Hastings College turned to Holland Basham Architects to design a new residential structure, the first new housing project for first-year students in more than 30 years.

Named “The 1882,” this project celebrates the College’s roots while marking a new chapter of the campus.

As part of a multi-year effort to upgrade on-campus housing and dining facilities, The 1882 brings modern amenities and a greater sense of community living.
