Kayser Hall Added to Campus

Material for this Flashback was taken from A History of the University of Nebraska at Omaha by UNO History Professor Tommy Thompson.

 

Not long after Omaha University joined the University of Nebraska system, a serious building campaign was initiated.

 

Beginning in 1969, the first effort in this campaign was construction of a building for the College of Education. Named Kayser Hall, it was completed in 1971 and dedicated Sept. 12 of that year.

 

Kayser Hall became the first building on the Omaha campus to be built with state funds. Four stories tall and located on the extreme northeastern edge of the campus, it is named after school benefactor Frederick Kayser.
