It’s been about a year since the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dairy Store in Filley Hall within the Food Industry Complex, which includes the old Dairy Industry building, moved from its location on the south side of the building to the north side of the complex, facing East Campus Union.
This new space offers a renovated seating area and store operations, along with a view of Legacy Plaza and Dinsdale Family Learning Commons, formerly C.Y. Thompson Library.
The new location hosted a grand reopening on March 10, 2020, the day before COVID-19 temporarily closed campus. The Dairy Store first opened as Varsity Dairy in 1917 and served all-you-can-drink milk for a nickel to anyone who brought their own glass and provided dairy products for UNL dormitories.

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.”
