Hopefully donors will be excited, too. The Hastings College Board of Trustees in April approved a new 10-year campus master plan that paves the road to the college's future. It includes outlines for demolition, renovation and new construction. The plan was formulated by a committee of staff, students, faculty and members of the Board of Trustees. It was presented in April as part of the college's strategic planning report.
New construction is planned on college-owned land that has never before been used.
Hoover said demolishing the college's aging football stadium is the first step in a process that will create more on-campus space for classrooms, labs and faculty offices. The new field could be used for football, soccer and track. A new two-story classroom building, the largest on campus, would be built on the site of the old stadium. The site would also have three Tpractice fields and parking. The Kiewit Physical Fitness Building would be remodeled.
