Hastings Hall
Hastings Hall was originally built in 1964 and renovated in 2023-2024 to provide students with modern amenities and conveniences, including air conditioning. Unlike traditional residence halls, these buildings offer students private, single-user bathrooms in the hallway area that are shared by the floor. Similar to a home, each bathroom is privately used by one individual. Additional sinks are located near the bathrooms to provide quick, easy use. The ground floor features lounges, a kitchen, a laundry room, a study space, a quiet room, and a knowledge station. Hastings Hall is located in the northeastern quad of East Housing Area in close proximity to the IM Building, Pegula Ice Arena, and the Arboretum.
Hastings Hall was named after Daniel H. Hastings, the 21st Governor of Pennsylvania (1895-1899).
