Our Mission:
Located on UNL’s Panhandle Research and Extension Center campus, these housing units are provided for the convenience of short term housing for UNL departments and their guests. Potential guests include:
- Visiting faculty or international scholars who need short or long term lodging
- Interview candidates or guest speakers for UNL conferences
- UNL employees who are in town on an assignment
The Panhandle Research and Extension Center maintains that we allow for both internal and external rates and tenants for housing. Our intent is not to undercut other lodging options in the community, but to offset undue financial burden on students and to foster greater partnerships in NU research and Extension. We understand the intent and value of our housing through at least the following ways:
- Facilitate an affordable housing solution for students who often have to pay rent in both Lincoln and Scottsbluff.
- Facilitate affordable, non-lease stays for students, interns, and visiting scholars and professionals.
- Housing availability for non-university tenants for the purposes of fostering greater connections between faculty and outside agencies or organizations. (E.g., external tenants will be expected to have some justifiable project, function, activity or purpose connected to one or more of the faculty at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center in exchange for our affordable housing rates.)
Rooms:
Each fully furnished room features:
- A twin XL-sized bed with linen
