<strong>Facilities</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
GREEN SPACE<br />
We intend to remain a rural university within<br />
a setting that refl ects our Platte River Valley<br />
surroundings and heritage. <strong>Kearney</strong> Lake,<br />
<strong>Kearney</strong> Canal, the Spillway, the Tail Race,<br />
and the campus main street mall, all form a<br />
backdrop for east campus development <strong>of</strong><br />
malls, plazas, and lawns. This would provide<br />
for a less dense west campus that features<br />
parkland landscaped for our<br />
unique educational misson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following open space map<br />
refl ects our intention to extend<br />
the 26th street mall west from the<br />
fountain to <strong>University</strong> Drive, while<br />
further development and planting<br />
<strong>of</strong> the campus main street and the<br />
Tail Race will anchor the interior <strong>of</strong><br />
the campus.<br />
A campus Landscape development<br />
plan is underway to provide<br />
concepts to strengthen the<br />
campus edges and entries. <strong>The</strong><br />
plan will establish recommended<br />
standards for street setbacks,<br />
parking requirements, sidewalks,<br />
pedestrian and bicycle trails,<br />
exterior screening, utilities,<br />
architectural elements, signage,<br />
lighting, site amenities and<br />
landscapes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> South Farmland and West<br />
Farmland properties provide<br />
the campus land for future<br />
development.<br />
