In the summer of 1992,
Clarkson College moved from Kiewit Tower, where it had educated students for
over 30 years, to a facility located prominently at the corner of 42nd and
Dodge Streets in Omaha. Committed to living and learning, Clarkson Regional Health
Services, Clarkson College and The Nebraska Medical Center launched an enriched
college life experience with the opening of a new urban campus in the fall of
2004. The Residence Hall includes apartment-style resident living, while the
Student Center offers convenience, and a greater community connection among
students.
The Student Center houses
the Campus Corner bookstore, fitness room, mailboxes, café and Student
Government office on the first floor. On the second level, Howard Hall, a
multi-purpose room, provides gym space as well as seating for 400 people. Next door is the J.W. Upright Success
Center, which caters to the study, tutoring and counseling needs of students.
In the main building at
42nd and Dodge Streets, the lower level (LL) houses the College Library and
Educational Resource Center (ERC). Maintaining convenient hours, the Library
and ERC provide students with a knowledgeable staff and resources necessary to
