University Green
Today, an enormous concrete parking lot and a single academic building dominate the physical center of the UNK campus. It is a landscape built for the automobile possibly better resembling a suburban shopping destination than a university. The goal here is to capitalize on the College of Education building’s presence and importance to the mission of UNK and to build a new University Green quadrangle that becomes part of the connected green core of the campus landscape. Distinguished academic buildings will enclose the green with strong walkway connections to the Coliseum, 26th St. Mall, and the West campus. The green is designed for large-scale ceremonies as well as outdoor learning, games, and public gathering. It is enhanced with public art, attractive building entrance plazas, and a central pergola visible from Route 30. It is edged by wide walkways lined with shade trees complemented with furniture inviting students to slow down and take advantage of the setting for rest, study, and quiet conversation.
