Facilities Development Plan - The University of Nebraska Kearney

Barring unprecedented and unexpected
advances in enrollment of traditional students,
the overall size of our housing inventory
should be adequate to meet requirements
through 2015. But aging and outdated facilities
must be replaced or substantially renovated
within the planning period. In addition, surveys
conducted in conjunction with a 2004 housing
master plan indicated that we need to add new
living options to the inventory, including the
suite-style rooms that are featured in the three

new halls that will be operational by fall 2008.
The ongoing project will replace more than 300
beds in the near-term. Further stages of the
residential renewal envisioned in this facilities
development plan will renovate our remaining
traditional halls and modernize our apartment
facilities. The result will be a “ladder” of
living options for students to progress from
traditional rooms as freshmen to more
independent living choices as they achieve
upper division status.
