Facilities Development Plan - The University of Nebraska Kearney

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