Shive-Hattery LEADING THE CHARGE IN MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT

Shive-Hattery, a multi-state architecture and engineering consulting firm with 16 offices, most of which span across the Midwest, has a steadfast presence in Nebraska with offices in Omaha and Lincoln. Its local team has made its mark with multi-family projects throughout the metro.

The firm, which was founded in 1895, serves major sectors such as commercial, industrial, institutional, public buildings and infrastructure.

In 2019, it brought home-grown Studio951 into the fold through an acquisition.

“I started Studio951 in 1994 by myself in my basement,” said Dave Johnson, who serves as managing director of the Omaha, Lincoln and Kansas City offices.

Johnson said while Studio951 was established in Lincoln, the firm has historically done a fair amount of work in Omaha, making the acquisition and later, the opening of the Omaha office, an easy transition.

Omahan Jason Struve, who serves as creative director, came on board in 2012. Subsequently, after the acquisition, the firm opened its Omaha office in Ralston, as part of the Granary District in April of 2023.

“As we were redeveloping that whole piece of property, we decided that we were going to move into one of the tenant suites that we were creating,”

Johnson said.

The district, located near 72nd Street and Ralston’s Main Street, is situated at the site of a former granary built in the early 1900s. The mixed-use development features event space and retail.

Making a mark on Omaha

Regarding projects that elicited pride from the firm’s team, Johnson and Struve noted the Square Apartments at 30th and Leavenworth streets as a tough site to build on.

“It’s a really tight site, but we managed to get a four-story building on top of parking on the site,” Struve said.

The building, owned by Metonic Real Estate Solutions, is near the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the Blackstone District and Midtown Crossing.

He also highlighted Prairie Queen, which was characterized as a missing middle housing neighborhood development featuring multiple sizes of units.

Shive-Hattery was tasked with making the “house-scale” buildings look like they were created in another era.

Other game-changing developments for the firm include Ravello 192, a

build-to-rent multi-family development near 192nd and Pacific streets, and Lifestyle Suites, near 180th Street and Highway 370, which features move-in ready salon suites for rent.

Capriana, an “apartminium” community in Elkhorn, won the 2024 Development of the Year by the CRE Summit for its mixed-income concept. The development is in partnership with Metonic Real Estate Solutions and Habitat for Humanity. The concept, which is slated to open in 2025, was created to address the growing affordable housing needs in Omaha.

Cost top of mind

While multifamily development is their bread and butter, Johnson and Struve said the industry has experienced a slowdown over the past 18 months. The projects developed during this period have been subject to stricter budgets.

“We are seeing that loosen up a bit,” Johnson said. “Just seeing the trend of interest rates go down a little bit has renewed some confidence in some of our developer clients, but it’s also reduced some confidence in some of the banking partners that are more willing to loan money. Couple that with the demand for housing, we’re definitely going to see the demand completely outweigh the supply again.”

On the flip side, workplace, public building and industrial building projects have soared.

“We’re continuing to grow and outpacing our projections this year,” he said.

The balance of in-office work and remote workers remains steady for Shive-Hattery, with more focus on amenity-rich multifamily projects.

“We’re seeing more prominent trends in some of our developments that weren’t necessarily trending a few years ago, like dog washes, pickleball courts, co-working spaces and conference rooms,” Struve said. “People are starting to come back [to the office], but I don’t think the numbers are what they were pre-pandemic. So in some of our clubhouses, we’re putting little offices or conference rooms.”

Looking to 2025, Johnson said Shive-Hattery will continue to see more growth in Omaha, and, with that, will come a focus on building on its expertise.

“I foresee our Omaha office being multi-disciplined, as in bringing in mechanical, electrical and structural [talent],” he said.

While the labor market remains tight, Shive-Hattery is also looking to hire an additional civil engineer and interior designer. MIDLANDS BUSINESS JOURNAL BY TIFFANY

While local architecture and engineering professionals are generally buoyed by a high volume of projects, some challenges are seemingly perennial and know no borders — be it competition for funding or talent, chronically high interest rates, or uncertainty over incentives like tax increment financing.

Strong indicators

Schemmer Principal and LEED AP, Tracy Mumford, said the company has seen an uptick in new projects and inquiries in the last two quarters.

“Recent rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have had a positive impact on project progress and have increased confidence in the economy’s recovery,” he said. “This has moved forward some of the projects that were on the fence and has built confidence with those in the private sector markets that the economy is on a rebound.”

Mumford said the company’s steady backload is an indicator of success made possible by a broad versatility.

“We’ve been able to do this because of our broad client base of both private and public sector clients,” he explained. “In addition, we

serve over a dozen market sectors and provide fully integrated design solutions with full-service architecture, engineering and construction field services.”

DLR Group Central Region Leader and Senior Principal Curtis A. Johnson seconded the notion.

“Our work has scaled up with larger, more complex, comprehensive projects resulting in over 60 industry awards,” he said.

“Locally, we are proud to be working on the CHI Center expansion, which will include a facelift for the riverfront side and more rental spaces, with groundbreaking expected in early 2025. DLR Group also completed a new middle school in Gretna and had the successful opening of the Gretna East High School and Boys Town Education Center.”

Investments provide steady work

Johnson said the sheer number of large-scale projects happening presently is an indicator of Omaha’s stong economy.

“There is an abundance new construction and renovation projects in civic, cultural and performing arts, federal, health care, higher

education, hospitality, justice, K-12 education, mixed-use, sports, transportation and workplace at all phases from planning to design to construction,” he said.

“This year is steeped with organizations investing in our community, including Mutual of Omaha, UNMC, Eppley Airport and the city of Omaha.”

Isabelle Fleming, Omaha by Design programming and communications coordinator, singled out The RiverFront, The Joslyn, and the new central library as projects showcasing the community’s investment in Omaha.

“These projects show not only an appetite for transformative built form, but also an investment in human-scale design,” Fleming said. “Omaha by Design believes that a great city doesn’t just happen; a great city happens by design. Projects – great and small – that prioritize excellence in design and people-centered design, are the ones that shape our city.”

Talent remains tight

The last several years have been earmarked by a tight labor pool. For Schemmer, and other firms, this presents a challenge for growth.

“We continue to recruit new talent, but every one of our competitors is doing the same,” Mumford said. “We are also incorporating technology and fine-tuning our processes to create better efficiency while maintaining high-quality engineering and design.”

DLR Group is investing in creating strong connections at local universities to help bolster its ranks.

“For talent attraction, we engage with students and top universities through internships, career fairs, networking, and serving as adjunct faculty,” said Central Region Business Development Leader/Senior Associate Emily Bannick.

“We work with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, College of Architecture and the University of Nebraska Omaha, College of

Engineering within the Peter Kiewit Institute.”

That investment has paid off for the organization. Johnson noted that 2024 saw employee-owners grow from 1,400 to 1,600.

While growth near and far remains a top priority, Bannick indicated they are also rolling in efforts to engage with communities and to expand their reach geographically at present. ]

Emphasizing stability

One element affecting incoming talent, or rather preventing it, is a lack of affordable housing.

“Finding solutions to this challenge has become a core part of Omaha by Design’s (ObD) work,” said Abram Lueders, director of urban design at Omaha by Design.

“Through our Affordable by Design (AxD) program, ObD has partnered with the local design and development community to create freely available home designs that are high-quality, affordable to build and tailored for Omaha’s unique neighborhoods.”

In addition to housing affordability, sustainability also continues to be a big topic, especially with conversations regarding Omaha’s own

The upcoming year

Looking to 2025, Mumford said Schemmer has a positive outlook based on trends observed in 2021 and 2022 when the industry was booming.

“Public sector work will continue on a gradual incline, and we anticipate an upsurge in the private sector,” he said.

Johnson said DLR Group’s overall outlook for the new year is optimistic, too, especially locally due to city and metro area momentum.

Fleming referenced the “We Make Omaha” plan as guiding development efforts, describing it as the brand behind the public engagement process for a once-in-a-generation comprehensive plan for the city of Omaha.

“A comprehensive plan is a city’s vision for growth and development in the next 20 years, and ours hasn’t been updated since 1997,” she explained.

“Omaha has grown and is projected to run out of greenfield land by 2050 – posing new and different challenges to what we were looking at 30 years ago. The comprehensive plan is an integral part of making decisions about land use, zoning, and code, which determine how and where we grow.”

2025 Forecast

FIVE TRENDS IN ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING

BY BROOKE STRICKLAND

#1: Artificial intelligence: As with so many other fields in the world today, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way architects and engineers do business. George Morrissey, principal and founder of Morrissey Engineering, said that AI applications are helping with a lot of administrative tasks right now, but forwardthinking firms are exploring a plethora of other innovative ways to improve deliverables on projects.

“AI has the potential to transform our workflows, enabling us to allocate more time to creative planning and collaborative efforts,” he said. “The integration of AI in the industry is an exhilarating prospect.”

#2: Economical and sustainable building practices: Whether it’s remodeling existing structures instead of being demolished or using more economically sustainable products to build new buildings, architects and engineers say this is one of the biggest trends to take note of.

“I look forward to seeing the design and construction methodologies evolve as the industry continues to reduce its carbon impact and as technological advances provide more ability to efficiently complete complex tasks and processes,” shared Brian Hadfield, principal at Alvine Engineering.

Steven Ginn, principal of Steven Ginn Architects, noted that getting more economic utility out of common materials has driven

recent innovations in the building industry — especially in the area of using natural materials in buildings like wood.

“From interior finishes to load-bearing superstructures, wood has proven to be an economic and aesthetically pleasing option,” he said. “When responsible forestry practices are combined with cutting-edge fabrication, mass timber becomes not only a naturally renewable resource but one that many in the industry deem the building material of the future. Other materials such as hemp and fly ash are also seeing an expanded role in building materials.”

#3: Building information modeling (BIM) and virtual reality: This allows real-time communication between architects, engineers and consultants. Michael Emsick, principal architect for Emsick Architects, said that this has been a game-changer. He also noted that virtual reality (VR) has proved beneficial.

“VR walkthroughs are also becoming standard, allowing clients to experience designs firsthand and make adjustments early in the process, saving time and money,” he explained. “As digital tools improve communication and visualization, we’re able to create dealership environments that align perfectly with our clients’ operational goals and our commitment to excellence.”

#4: Multipurpose functionality: Ginn explained that during and after the pandemic, people developed new relationships with the spaces they occupied.

“Within new residential construction, people are interested in how they might design a house that serves many functions,” he said. “People are asking that their homes serve not only as residences but as offices, recreational spaces, and gathering spaces all at once. Connectedness and open floor plans lend themselves well to these needs as they allow a space to quickly and easily transform from one use to another. Post-pandemic, people are really seeing the value of doing more with less.”

#5: Investment in talent: To attract and retain the best of the best, firms are focusing on giving employees the tools they need to grow and succeed. At Morrissey Engineering, for example, the team is working on enhancing its mentoring program to support new or less experienced staff, while utilizing the expertise of more seasoned professionals on strategic initiatives.

“By empowering our team members and investing in their growth, we are confident that we will drive significant advancements, making notable contributions to the fields of architecture and engineering,” Morrissey said.

HDR: Sarpy Infrastructure Projects

Sarpy County’s unprecedented growth in the past 15 years has necessitated infrastructure improvements to support further development and capitalize on economic benefits and increased tax revenues, according to Ann Williams, who manages HDR’s Nebraska/ Iowa water practice.

Studies for what is now known as the Southern Sarpy Expressway were completed in 2010. A decade later, HDR embarked on design improvements to Platteview Road to connect U.S Highway 75 to Interstate 80, creating approximately 20 miles of expressway. It is poised to connect national, state and local transportation infrastructure.

Likewise, the Sarpy County and Cities Wastewater Agency’s regional wastewater system will convey wastewater generated south of the county’s hydraulic ridgeline in the Buffalo Creek, Springfield Creek and Zwiebel Creek basins. Sarpy, Bellevue, Gretna, La Vista, Papillion and Springfield approved an interlocal agreement in 2017 to create the Sarpy County and Sarpy Cities Wastewater Agency, which administers the project.

At this writing, Sarpy is evaluating and constructing interim improvements to enhance traffic operations and extend the longevity of the roadway network, and preliminary design is underway for the expressway. Construction of U.S. Highway 75 to 42nd Street is slated to begin in 2026, while completion of the initial phase of the regional wastewater system is expected in December, and will open 5,200-plus acres for development.

“[These projects] will enhance east-west connectivity for more efficient traffic movement and provide the necessary infrastructure for future residential, commercial and industrial development,” she said.

Holland Basham Architects: UNMC’s Edge District

The recently-announced Edge District will support the growth of UNMC and Nebraska Medicine across its 30 acres of mixed-use development, according to AIA and Principal Curt Witzenburg.

“We have led the master planning efforts as well as establishing design standards for the entire district,” he said. “The sheer scale of what UNMC is doing and the impact it has on Omaha is impressive. They continue to position themselves as a hub for innovation and growth while offering top-notch health care and education.”

With so much growth at UNMC, Witzenburg noted the desire to strengthen the connection between the university and the broader community.

“Bringing definition to the available transportation, retail and housing elements delivers the connection UNMC was seeking,” he added. “Reshaping the area along Saddle Creek Road, this development intends to provide a walkable, mixed-use environment including office space, retail, multifamily, educational and health care-related facilities balanced by public amenity space. This project will further enhance options for students, staff, and the community.”

When tasked with the renovation and expansion of The Joslyn, representatives from Snøhetta understood the importance of the institution. The company’s goal was to help The Joslyn effectively thrive, educate, and connect with new audiences in the 21st century.

The firm was hired to help the museum rethink its visitor experience, enhance the buildings and grounds to be more welcoming and connected to the community, and create new gallery and community spaces.

The museum, which opened in the fall, was described as being embraced by the community in its new form.

“The project has elevated the museum’s reputation across the country and around the world,” said Director of Communications Alan Brake. “The museum has always been a destination and a draw for people to visit Omaha. Now it can better serve visitors as well as the local community.”

Defining Leadership

ICAN CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

AMY MCLAUGHLIN VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMMING & OPERATIONS, ICAN

CURLEY FACILITATOR, ICAN

For 20 years, ICAN’s Defining Leadership series has evolved to meet the needs of the changing workforce, thereby empowering professionals to lead authentically and effectively.

“Five years ago, our customers were saying we needed to talk about ethics and how employees deal with ethical challenges, so we added a half day on ethics,” said Amy McLaughlin, vice president of programming & operations. “Two years ago we added a whole section on unconscious bias.”

Designed to let participants truly understand who they are as a person, the transformations that take place over four months only happen because of the unique structure.

The power of a circle

When Amanda Knight, a client experience senior consultant at Olsson, was nominated by her supervisor to attend the most recent cohort, she was excited. Olsson has a long history of sending multiple employees, both male and female, through the program each year.

On the first day of the program, which spans four months with twoday sessions each month, she could feel the nervous energy. But, by the end of the first day, she said you could see the light switches going off as the barriers came down.

“I think that by the end of that first day, you could just see everyone

getting a lot more comfortable,” Knight said.

Ginny Curley, who went through the program before becoming a facilitator, said that comfortability begins to form with the first exercise. It’s a fairly simple one, where everyone sits in a circle, and then one-byone shares their story and why they’re attending the program.

“As people are going around and sharing their story, you realize, oh my gosh, I am not alone. There are others who have had challenges, struggles and successes. It gives all of us permission to share our story too,” Curley said.

“I think that’s the magic of sitting in a circle … it allows you to connect with each other really quickly.”

Not another seminar

Over the course of four months, participants challenge their perceptions of self and others through activities.

One activity has participants combing through over 100 values to pick out three “core” values. Another challenges participants to look at a difficult workplace experience from three perspectives. This could be the participant’s perspective, and a boss, co-worker, or client.

“You step into their position and try to think about how they felt,” McLaughlin said. “It’s really hard … and it helps build empathy.”

It’s hard because the topics and activities are designed to get

participants thinking in a way that’s different from their normal.

“It’s learning to appreciate not only your own strengths, but the strengths of others,” McLaughlin said. “And, how do we come together to work together?”

In an effort to help participants feel more comfortable, sessions are grouped by gender.

“We always evaluate the surveys after a session,” McLaughlin said. “We always ask if it’s still beneficial to run these programs as single gender, and they almost always say yes.”

There are also a few weeks between each session to help participants process what they’ve learned. McLaughlin said participants are also working on “homework” and communicating in small groups on the off weeks.

Lasting connections

By nature, sharing an intense experience bonds people together, and that’s what happens to participants in this program.

“I went through the program in 2010 and I still talk to my classmates,” McLaughlin said. “You now have 20 individuals from different industries and sectors that you can now call and say ‘I’m having this problem.’”

Curley, who spent 20 years in leadership development for women

in higher education, said that even with her background, she is consistently learning new things about the topic.

“When I hear people talk about their experiences, it helps me understand my own,” she said.

Supporting the Community BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF NEBRASKA’S MISSION TO CHAMPION HEALTH

For over 85 years, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska (BCBSNE) has served its members and communities across the state.

In 2024, BCBSNE upheld longstanding traditions and launched new initiatives to further its commitment to giving back, fulfilling its mission to champion the health and well-being of its members and the communities it serves by:

Launching the Nebraska Blue Foundation

In April, BCBSNE launched the Nebraska Blue Foundation, enabling the company to make impactful and focused investments in promising programs and community initiatives statewide. Since its launch, the foundation has:

• Donated $75,000 to the Community Wellness Collaborative

• Contributed $200,000 to the Douglas A. Kristensen Rural Health Education Building

• Donated $10,000 to five Nebraska nonprofits

Continuing time-honored traditions

For over 40 years, BCBSNE employees have led an annual fundraising campaign for United Way of the Midlands, exemplifying the company’s tradition of giving and community engagement. This year’s campaign included a variety of fundraising and volunteer efforts, such as packing 1,500 hygiene kits, with proceeds and materials benefiting local nonprofits.

Supporting the health of Nebraska

BCBSNE’s 2024 Health of Nebraska sponsorship continued to support 12 Combined Health Agencies Drive member agencies across the state. Through this sponsorship, nonprofits are empowered to support individuals facing a range of health challenges while expanding access to care throughout Nebraska.

Working together to uplift Nebraskans

In partnership with YMCAs across the state, BCBSNE hosted two key events in 2024:

• National Walk at Lunch (NW@L) Day: In April, BCBSNE donated $5,000 to Special Olympics Nebraska when nearly 15,800 people took the pledge to walk at least 30 minutes on NW@L Day. Additionally, Brady Public Schools received a $1,000 grant for their participation in NW@L.

• Community flu shot clinics: In October, BCBSNE hosted free flu shot clinics at YMCAs across Nebraska, open to everyone aged six and older, regardless

of insurance coverage. In total, 421 people received their flu shot at one of BCBSNE’s clinics.

Supporting Nebraska’s schools

BCBSNE’s commitment to education shines through initiatives supporting students and teachers. In April, five educators were recognized with the Outstanding Nebraska Teacher Award as part of the company’s Touchdown for Teachers campaign, in partnership with Husker Athletics. The campaign received 850 nominations, highlighting teachers who go above and beyond for their students.

The company’s commitment to schools also extends to physical education. Beatrice and Bryan Elementary Schools received new fitness equipment and curriculum through Project Fit America grants from BCBSNE. The grants funded indoor and outdoor fitness equipment, a dynamic curriculum and activities that promote fitness, social skills and leadership.

BCBSNE recently completed the inaugural year of the Healthy Home Team initiative, with the goal to award grants to all 309 Nebraska high schools over three years. This year, 100 schools each received a $500 grant. In November, North Platte High School was awarded an additional $5,000 grant to support its plans to expand the school’s food pantry, providing students and families with fresh, nutritious food options on campus.

For 85 years, we’ve been catalysts of the Good Life and connectors to living better. We’re proud to serve our hometown and the people who make it great.

Brett Carson Chief Investment Officer

Consensus Loves Small Caps, but Why?

One of Wall Street’s dirty little secrets is that much of its forecasts are based upon “mean reversion”. In other words, whatever hasn’t been working will reverse, or vice versa. We’ve heard this for years regarding international stocks versus US, value versus growth, corporate profit margins peaking, etc. It’s like some believe that there is some pre-ordained law that everything will gravitate toward its long-term average. In an era of innovation and change, we don’t think this holds much water.

Now we’re hearing a similar thesis regarding small cap(italization) stocks. This area of the market has meaningfully lagged during this bull market for a variety of reasons, most notably tepid sales and earnings growth. However, it’s become the trendy call among market strategists over the past year. Is there reason to believe that small caps are posed to outperform – finally? We have our own thoughts that go a bit deeper than the “mean reversion” thesis we’ve seen from others.

One of the biggest headwinds for small cap stocks is the rise in interest rates. Smaller firms tend to use more debt because many have not yet reached the size necessary to generate enough internal cash flow to fund their investments and growth ambitions. They’re also more of a credit risk for lenders than their larger counterparts, so smaller firms don’t get the same borrowing terms. Instead, they lean more on variable rates with shorter durations that must be paid or refinanced sooner. In short, small caps are more rate sensitive, and a “higher for longer” environment is not ideal for this asset class.

Our second point is that small caps are much more cyclical than large caps. For example, the financial sector is the largest weighting in the Russell 2000 index at 19% vs. 14% in the S&P 500. Industrials are second at18%, which is twice the weight in the S&P. Our point is that not only are small caps paying higher interest costs, but their demand is also being impacted by rates.

Lastly, 2025 earnings expectations for small caps look ambitious. According to FactSet consensus, earnings for firms in the Russell 2000 index are expected to rise 40% next year. This compares to just 15% for the S&P 500. This is despite the sharp rise in interest rates that we’ve seen over recent months. We’ve seen this movie before. Coming into 2024, consensus

was looking for a 25% rise in Russell 2000 earnings. Now they’re expected to fall roughly 8% this year. Investors thought they were paying a price-to-earnings ratio of 22x. Instead, they paid closer to 36x. We’re concerned that something similar could happen in 2025, especially with the recent rise in interest rates.

“Mean reversion” is not a sustainable investment thesis. It may work over short periods of time, but it’s usually not sustainable. This is especially true if key variables have changed. HFS believes that interest rates will remain “higher for longer”, which means parts of the market will likely not perform the same way that they have during the past 15 years. We’re not against small caps, but we believe some are better positioned than others to thrive in this changed environment. .”

Midwest Leaders Q&A

LEAH WHITNEY CHAVEZ, FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WORLD SPEAKS

LEAH WHITNEY CHAVEZ

Bio:

Leah Whitney Chavez is the founder and executive director of World Speaks, a nonprofit that seeks to create a unified community through language. The organization hosts community language classes and tutoring, and has staff available for translation and interpretation services in over two dozen languages. It also launched Justice Speaks, a space for people of color to gather and share their stories. In June 2024 it launched Language Access Week to highlight other organizations that offer services in multiple languages.

What inspired you to found World Speaks in 2016?

I would say my curiosity in other languages and culture, specifically my interest in the Spanish language. I was born in Bellevue, Washington, which is right outside of Seattle. There was a lot of diversity, culture and language in my childhood. There is a lot of diversity in our city but we are pretty segregated. I had an idea for a language school in Omaha as I saw that there wasn’t a place apart from a university where you could learn different languages in one place. In 2014, I started working on the business and realized its potential to help the Omaha community. We applied for 501(c) 3 status in late 2015 and received it in April 2016.

What is the biggest challenge your nonprofit is facing?

Maintaining sustainable funding is always a challenge that nonprofits face. I would also say growing safely. We are doing more work now than ever before and trying to keep that balance with helping others and keeping the team healthy, including myself.

What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?

I think just to take one step at a time and that the work is always there tomorrow. My Gallup strength is futuristic, so I am always thinking so far ahead. That is great for my role as ED but sometimes that can lead to stress. It is good to take a break and come back. Sometimes projects or problems have to be tackled in more than one sitting and that’s okay.

A friend of family member is visiting Omaha for the first time. Where are you taking them?

That’s a hard question, but I am a foodie so I would say Salween Thai or Saffron, and Coneflower Creamery for dessert after. Depending on the weather, I would have to take them to the new RiverFront project. They did a great job on it.

2024 CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN NEBRASKA IS AT $930M

BY: CINDY GONZALEZ

Originally published on nebraskaexaminer.com on November 25, 2024

Now five years since Google built a physical presence in Nebraska, the tech giant announced Nov. 25 its latest annual spend on infrastructure across the state: $930 million.

The 2024 capital investment makes for a total so far of about $4.4 billion in Nebraska data centers to help meet growing demand for Google Cloud, artificial intelligence innovations and services such as the company’s search, maps and workspace programs, said spokesman Dan Harbeke.

Just within the past few months, he said, Google’s sprawling data center site in northwest Omaha became operational but is not finished growing.

Its newest data center project in Lincoln remains under construction on roughly 580 acres. And the original Google campus in Nebraska, a Papillion project that broke ground on 275 acres in late 2019, has continued to expand in various ways.

“We’re effectively continuing to build out those footprints,” said Harbeke, regional head of public policy and external affairs. “We are not announcing any new sites this year but we are announcing continued growth and expansion across all three sites here in Nebraska.”

Workforce development funds

Also during a news event, Google announced a different kind of investment — philanthropic donations to support workforce development. Such contributions are separate and in addition to construction improvements, Harbeke said.

Google.org, for instance, granted $250,000 to the University of Nebraska Foundation to support AI research and education across its campuses.

Earlier this month, Google’s philanthropic arm also provided Creighton University with a $250,000 grant to support the private university’s efforts to prepare students for expanded uses of artificial intelligence.

Company officials also described a $100,000 donation to the Lincoln Public Schools Foundation’s Spark Summer Camp program, which targets elementary school students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.

NU President Jeffrey Gold said the university gift underscores the shared commitment to

harnessing the power of AI to ensure Nebraska is on the cutting edge of research, teaching and use.

“Our hope is that this investment in Nebraska will lead to opportunities for economic growth and innovation,” Gold said.

Earlier this year, the university system announced a new undergraduate degree program in generative AI, a collaboration between the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Lincoln campuses. In addition, all four NU campuses are actively building AI-related programs and are using the new technology to drive teaching and innovation, according to a university statement.

Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird said investment in programs such as Spark underscores the Capital City’s “growing reputation” as a place for innovation and opportunity.

“Google is helping to prepare Lincoln’s students and workforce for a rapidly evolving future,” she said.

Google officials declined to provide detail on how the $930 million breaks down between data center sites. They also declined to disclose the number of employees per site but in a media statement said more than 120 jobs for Nebraskans have been created since 2019, in a variety of full time and external supplier roles, including computer technicians, engineers, maintenance and food service jobs.

Harbeke said Google has started to see worker mobility and advancement within the state and the Omaha metro area, which includes the more established Council Bluffs plant.

“We’re five years into our Nebraska footprint … you’re seeing that movement among Googlers across these sites, which has been really neat to see,” Harbeke said. “One of the folks who is going to be leading our Lincoln campus worked out of our Papillion site.”

‘Global advantage’

U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., who joined Google officials on Nov. 25, said the Google technology investment gives the state a “competitive global advantage.”

“These are the jobs of the future and they’re coming here to Nebraska,” he said.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., called Google a driver for secure U.S. infrastructure.

“The importance of innovation in national security and AI between the public and private sectors cannot be understated and we’re working on that right here in Nebraska,” he said.

Karen Dahut, CEO of Google public sector, said the Google data centers are essential to delivering cutting-edge products to a wide range of organizations that include government and educational institutions as well as the individual consumer.

The computer-filled hubs are the engines that power technology and make local and global connections happen 24-7, Google said in a report about data centers. They are where Gmail and YouTube videos live. They are what keep the internet up and running.

“We are grateful for the partnership from leaders across Nebraska as we have grown within the state,” Dahut said. “I look forward to exploring more opportunities to bring the power of Google Cloud’s technology to support the important missions of the public sector.”
