Facilities

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln split-campus environment allows you to choose a campus feel that fits you. With classes on both campuses, you’ll experience the smaller college atmosphere of East Campus and the busier, more cosmopolitan City Campus. The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, home to the Turfgrass and Landscape Management Program is located in Plant Science Hall.  In the spring of 2010, the Department will move into a newly remodeled Keim Hall.
