LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The Dinsdale Family Learning Commons opened just this past week, giving East Campus a brand new look.
The $22.5 million renovation of the former C.Y. Thompson Library, received funding from private donors and contributions from the Dinsdale family of Nebraska. The building offers study spaces, pods, interactive classrooms, and more. It also has over 30 computer stations and three private rooms for students to take exams.
The Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program and Nebraska Hall of Agricultural Achievement are located inside.
“Not only do we have collections, but we have the expertise for research, for teaching and bringing all of those components together,” UNL Libraries Associate Dean Charlene Maxey-Harris said. The creativity was a big thing, innovation, to really try to bring these faces back to life.”
