Residential student move-in Aug. 16-19 on City Campus
On August 16-19 (Sunday through Wednesday), UNL will welcome most of the residential students to campus. The university has moved to a fully drive-thru move-in process centered around the Memorial Stadium Loop at 14th and Vine Streets. Students moving into on-campus housing will begin at Memorial Stadium, where they’ll check in, receive welcome materials and essential information, and then proceed to their residence hall for unloading. A short video preview of move-in can be found here: https://mediahub.unl.edu/media/27168.
Move-in operations will impact campus traffic patterns – see the map. Road closures are marked in orange; parking lot closures are marked in red.
Of particular note: Abel/Sandoz students will utilize the interior courtyard (between Abel/Sandoz and Kiewit Hall) to pull next to the building for curbside move-in. This will only happen on Sunday and Tuesday (Aug 16, 18).
Faculty & staff in Kiewit Hall and the engineering complex will notice increased traffic in and around the area on Tuesday. Parking, too, will be tighter on these days - specifically the lots adjacent to Kiewit Hall - the A Lot in front of the Courtyards, the Garage near Abel/Sandoz, and maybe even in the Boathouse lot.
The small Engineering-only lot adjacent to Kiewit Hall and south of Sandoz will not be utilized for move-in; however, there will be increased traffic around that lot (some lines, even) - so those who utilize that lot on Tuesday (Aug 18) may have longer wait to get into the parking lot between 8AM-4PM. A parking attendant will be stationed outside of that lot.
