Residents in Hastings-Simmons are located in the beautiful North Campus community, overlooking Shattuck Lawn.

Originally named for Olivia Hastings, an early leader in the movement to establish a state supported college for women. This building was then rededicated in October, 1994 as Hastings-Simmons Hall in honor of Miriam Q.
