COVID-19 has completely changed the world around us and how the Nebraska Unions can provide physical and virtual opportunities to build community on campus has been greatly impacted. Guidance for safely operating the Nebraska Unions is provided by a number of local, university, state and national sources, including the CDC, Department of Health and Human Services, University of Nebraska and Nebraska Medicine, The Lincoln Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Forward to Fall Guiding Framework, and more.
Active planning and preparation utilizing these resources have led to the development of the operational plans and processes with two overarching goals: (1) providing a safe environment for Nebraska Unions staff, departments, vendors, and users of the Nebraska Unions by minimizing risks associated with COVID-19 and (2) carefully adhering and following CDC, state, and local policies, guidelines, and principles. In order for these priorities to be successful all individuals associated with the Nebraska Unions must work together, maintain an open dialogue, and be flexible. Additionally, this document is intended to be fluid and will require adjustments and changes to policies/procedures, likely with limited notice, as the response to COVID-19 continues to evolve.
The Nebraska Unions has prepared a guiding document for opening the facilities, including Event Planning information. Please visit https://unions.unl.edu/nebraska-unions for more details.
If you have questions, please reach out to the Nebraska Unions staff directly. If you have submitted an EPR, the Nebraska Unions reservation staff will be working with you to plan your event.
