President Carter, supporters testify on university deferred maintenance plan Post Views: 662
Discovery Hall, which opened last fall on the UNK campus, was constructed through a successful state-university partnership that addresses critical deferred maintenance needs across the University of Nebraska system. The state-of-the-art STEM facility replaced UNK’s nearly 70-year-old Otto Olsen building, which was on the state’s capital construction replacement list for more than two decades.
LINCOLN – University of Nebraska President Ted Carter asked state senators on Tuesday to extend a 30-year partnership to keep NU facilities up-to-date, praising a “smart, responsible and action-oriented” legislative proposal he said would address a longstanding challenge for the campuses while saving valuable taxpayer dollars.

As UNK gears up to begin demolition of Otto Olsen constructed in 1955, Lot 32 north of the building is closed to make room for contractors. A few more steps must be taken before the full demolition process begins.
Lee McQueen, UNK’s director of Facilities Management and Planning, said the project is right on track.
“They expect to be done with the abatement toward the end of this month,” McQueen said. “Then the next step would be to get the abatement contractor on site in early March and start the demolition process, which we hope to be done during the summer of ’21.”
