History of Hansen Hall
Hansen Hall is named in honor of Dr. Neils Hansen, who worked at SDSU from 1895 until 1937. He specialized in research and plant breeding. Hansen established the world鈥檚 first greenhouse for the purpose of plant breeding right here at SDSU. One little known fact about Hansen is that he wrote the words to the school song, 鈥淵ellow and Blue鈥.
The four story hall was built in 1967 and underwent a major refurbishing in the summers of 2003 and 2004. Hansen is located on 11th Street on the west side of campus. Hansen Hall includes a convenience store, which includes hotel options for the residents in the area.
Hall Government is an opportunity to be a leader in your residence hall, plan programs and make decisions about how funding is utilized. Look for applications in the Fall.
