T he $8. 7 million Herman Student Life Complex tripled the size of the academic space available for Husker student -athletes by using the previous space known as the Hewit Center and the space previously occupied by the West Stadium Strength Complex . Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self- sustaining athletic programs in the country. In 2016-17, Nebraska was one of only two collegiate programs in the nation to attract nearly 1. 3 million fans across its seven major team sports through the doors of its world-class facilities. In 2016-17, Nebraska was the only Division I program to rank in the top 15 nationally in attendance in football and men's basketball.

This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary f...

By Georgette BraunRockford Register Star Forest Glen's name has been popping up in conversations the past few months among movers and shakers in Rockford. They're saying the 140- unit apartment complex near McFarland Road and East Riverside Boulevard — with a swimming pool, tennis courts, garages and manicured landscaping, as well as comparatively little crime surrounding it — is a good example of what affordable housing should be: 56 units are set aside for income-restricted renters.  The talk about Forest Glen Apartments has been fueled by a plan that was pulled back last week by a Wisconsin-based developer to build 65 apartments in east Rockford off South New Towne Drive. Eighty-eight percent would be for low-income renters. The plan called for housing about 150 residents, most from the 650- resident Fairgrounds Valley , a decaying property on the west side that the Rockford Housing Authority wants to raze. The 210-unit complex is 47 years old. Residents of the New T...

The $ 79 million Woodside Village project , a redevelopment plan that will add hundreds of apartments and retail space to Westwood, is underway more than two years after receiving city approval for tax breaks. The project being built by Los Angeles-based Tanner & White is a big addition to Westwood, a small (pop. 1,500) inner-ring suburb in northeast Johnson County . Its City Council authorized up to $20 million in tax incentives to subsidize the project in late 2011. Developer Blair Tanner said it took a while to arrange the financing and coordinate the project with improvements made to the Woodside Health and Tennis Club, but work is beginning this week. The $26 million first phase calls for a four-story building with 91 luxury apartments on the upper floors and 20,000 square feet of retail space on the first level. It will be on the site of the former Youthfront building at 4715 Rainbow Blvd. Demolition of that structure is scheduled to begin in August. “We like the project ...

Cain Fatica, Fairway Park Luxury Apartments , Copley | Amanda Gardner, Fairway Park Luxury Apartments How many tenants spend some of their free time in their apartment building’s leasing office just because it is such a great place?  Residents of the Fairway Park Luxury Apartments in Copley consider their leasing office to be part coffee shop and part lodge. The Starbucks coffee is always hot, and a fireplace keeps things cozy in cold or damp weather.  “I’ll just sit there sometimes and read the paper or one of the magazines they have, like Bon Appetit. Sometimes the office staff puts out recipes that we can try,” said tenant Cain Fatica . “I enjoy cooking. My brother is a chef, but I don’t get to cook as much as I’d like to. But it’s fun to taste new recipes. In the office, it’s like your family trading recipes .” Fatica, a graduate of the University of Akron with a major in biology, has lived in the complex a total of two years. He moved once, but came back because “compared to al...
