Campuses and Facilities

The College of Engineering has a unique campus system that uniquely benefits our students and faculty. We're one college in two cities (Lincoln and Omaha) on three campuses.  Depending on the academic program and research, our students, faculty and staff spend most or all of their time on the City Campus in Lincoln, the East Campus in Lincoln, or on the Scott Campus in Omaha (on the University of Nebraska at Omaha campus).

City Campus

Prem S. Paul Research Center at Whittier School

Lincoln

Opened in 1923, Whittier was the first school in Nebraska (and perhaps the nation) built for teaching junior high students – replete with 46 classrooms, a library, an auditorium, separate gymnasia for boys and girls, and a health clinic and surgical room.

Whittier has been part of UNL since 1983 and beginning in 2007 was renovated into a research space for use solely by interdisciplinary research programs - among them are the Nebraska Transportation Center, one of the nation’s largest university transportation centers that integrates transportation research, education, and technology transfer programs across the University of Nebraska, and both the Mid-America Transportation Center and Midwest Roadside Safety Facility, which include College of Engineering faculty and students and operate under NTC.

Whittier was renamed in 2016 to honor Prem S. Paul, the university’s former vice chancellor for research and economic development. The university’s Office of Research and Innovation is headquartered here, and the building also includes offices used by some faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The Schorr Center

Lincoln

Tucked under Memorial Stadium's south wing, the June and Paul Schorr III Center for Computer Science and Engineering was completed in late 2007. The facility provides 18,434 square feet to house some areas of the School of Computing. The Schorrs are both alumni of the University of Nebraska. It is home to both the Holland Computer Center, which provides campus-wide services to researchers who need high-performance computer resources, and PrairieFire, a powerful supercomputer used by scientists and engineers to study subjects such as nanoscale chemistry, subatomic physics, meteorology, genomics, crash worthiness and artificial intelligence. The Schorr Center also houses the NIMBUS Lab (Nebraska Intelligent MoBile Unmanned Systems) and classrooms.
