Southeast Community College will soon have student housing on the Lincoln Campus for the first time ever. A celebratory groundbreaking will be held on Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. at the east parking lot.
“The first residence hall on the Lincoln Campus will not only provide safe and secure housing for our students, it also provides an affordable pathway to a career or transfer to a four-year institution,” says Bev Cummins, Lincoln Campus director.
The initial residence hall will accommodate around 250 students and be ready for occupants in January 2024. It will include learning spaces, a communal kitchen, game room, convenience store and a workout area.
On-campus housing will increase student engagement, Cummins says, and also add to the overall college experience. “Incorporating living-learning communities within residence halls creates supportive spaces for students to connect with classmates, faculty and expanded access to academic support services as a foundation for success,” Cummins says.
BVH Architecture in Lincoln designed the project, and Sampson Construction is building it.
