We'll share a vintage University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) photo each Thursday on our homepage as part of the popular "Throwback Thursday."
Check back each week for a photo celebrating UNO's history, and to learn more about what's happening on campus and in our community, and future plans for the university.
Visit the UNO Criss Library Flickr photostream for even more photos.
This week's photo features the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER) building as it was after its dedication on March 21, 1980.
Just over 30 years later, in October 2010, significant renovations and additions to the building were completed. Students have a free HPER membership while taking on-campus classes (part of UPFF). HPER facilities are also available, free of charge, to any active duty service members on leave. Any active duty service member with proper documentation that they are on leave can utilize UNO’s state-of-the art recreation and exercise facilities.
With 240,000 square feet of space, the HPER building houses the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation as well as the Wellness Center that includes the Counseling Center, Health Services, and Campus Recreation. Some of the HPER building amenities include:
