Facilities Development Plan - The University of Nebraska Kearney

Facilities Development Plan
INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT
Most nonacademic student services are
located on the eastern part of main campus,
in our residential core. Founders Hall, the
Memorial Student Affairs Building, and the
Nebraskan Student Union house the bulk
of these services, although the Intramural
Sports offi ce is located in Cushing Coliseum
and the Offi ce of Residential and Greek life is
located in the basement of Conrad Hall. While
it would be possible to improve operations in
some cases by reconfi guring these buildings
or altering space assignments internally,
with two exceptions we would not anticipate
relocating these services. The fi rst exception is
the Offi ce of Undergraduate Recruitment and
Admissions, which is housed in the Memorial
Student Affairs Building. This offi ce would be
better located on the eastern edge of campus,
near a prominent campus entrance and more

parking capacity. The second exception is
the Offi ce of Residential and Greek Life,
whose quarters in Conrad Hall are not easily
accessible to some physically handicapped
students.
The Campus Utilities Master Plan provides
the planning for the extension of the chilled
water and steam infrastructure to the entire
campus, and is included as Appendix I-6. The
main boiler and chiller plant will be relocated
to the site east of the Tail Race. The existing
campus storage buildings north of the Frank
House and the Facilities Building/ Motor
Pool building north of the campus main
street will be relocated to the existing West
Boiler plant site. The relocations will remove
these industrial support uses from key future
building sites within west campus.
