Related construction info & tips:
Temporary walls have been constructed around much of the Nebraska Union’s previous food court area, as well as the meeting rooms formerly along the east wall.
Construction will continue for the entirety of the spring semester and may occasionally cause some inconveniences or detours, yet food service will continue throughout the semester.
The renovation is scheduled for completion in fall 2026 and will bring more variety and new dining options, including a refreshed Imperial Palace and Valentino’s, along with the addition of a flagship Husker Heroes location.
