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. 

Frees Hall has evolved into a community hub where students effortlessly blend study and socializing. The tiered indoor theatre sets the stage for Friday night movies, an outdoor grill beckons friends for home games, and the game room, complete with a pool table, offers the perfect study break sanctuary.

Relish in the convenience of amenities like a vending machine, free laundry facilities, and the presence of live-in ResLife staff members, ensuring a supportive living environment. Each room in Frees is a haven of comfort, furnished with a twin XL bed and mattress, a microfridge/freezer/microwave combo, closet, window shades, a desk with a chair, dressers, tiled flooring, trash can and recycling bin, and lofting equipment for personalized living spaces.
