Frees Residence Hall
A timeless tribute to the legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Frees. This residence, completed in 1931, emanates a warm and inviting ambiance, serving as a tranquil retreat from the college hustle. Designed by the renowned Dean and Dean Architects, Frees Hall mirrors the elegance of Smith Hall and was originally constructed as a women's residence, accommodating 185 students.
Steeped in history, Frees Hall pays homage to its benefactors' "generous interest in Christian education in Nebraska." Today, it stands proudly as a coed residence, having undergone a transformative 2009 renovation project. This endeavor not only preserved the historic charm but also introduced modern amenities, including air conditioning, remodeled bedrooms and living spaces, a game lounge, a theater area, and outdoor gathering spaces.
As Frees Hall seamlessly combines tradition with modernity, it stands not just an upperclassmen residence but as a cherished landmark where every detail reflects a commitment to the well-being and community spirit of its residents.
