Olsson helps UNK grow for the future with utility corridor expansion
By Mary Sullivan, Communications
The students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) have big plans for their futures. To match these ambitions, UNK is continually working on big plans for its campus. 
One of UNK's "big plans" is its initiative to develop its west campus. Part of this development includes the West Campus Utility Corridor Expansion project, which extends the existing heating and cooling system to provide service to UNK's west campus. Olsson Associates helped design this major utility corridor extension to serve the planned development.
