Construction Progress at Glenn Korff School of Music Reaches Milestone with Second-Level Slabs

October 3, 2023

Excitement is building as construction on the Glenn Korff School of Music at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln reaches a significant milestone, with the completion of second-level concrete slabs well underway. The east side of Area F saw a successful pour last Thursday, marking a crucial step forward in the development.

Hausmann Construction, at the helm of this ambitious project, has been coordinating efforts seamlessly with other key players in the construction process. The collaboration includes Sinclair Hille Architects and BNIM, responsible for architectural design, Morrissey Engineering, Inc. and Olsson managing engineering components.

Currently, formwork and reinforcing processes are in full swing for the west half of Area F, with another concrete pour scheduled later this week. The precision and dedication exhibited by the construction teams underscore the commitment to delivering a state-of-the-art facility for the Glenn Korff School of Music.

In an anticipated development, precast elements are set to arrive during the first week of November, adding another layer of excitement to the project. These prefabricated components, a testament to efficiency in construction, will play a crucial role in shaping the aesthetics and functionality of the music school.

The collaborative effort extends beyond the core construction team to include Confluence - Landscape Architecture, contributing to the design of outdoor spaces, and Schuler Shook, focusing on the lighting and theatrical design aspects. This comprehensive approach ensures that every facet of the Glenn Korff School of Music is carefully considered and crafted to create a conducive and inspiring environment for students, faculty, and visitors alike.

The Glenn Korff School of Music project represents a significant investment in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's commitment to fostering excellence in the arts and education. As the construction progresses, the campus community eagerly awaits the completion of this cutting-edge facility, poised to become a hub for musical creativity and academic achievement.

Stay tuned for further updates as the Glenn Korff School of Music takes shape, enriching the cultural landscape of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
