Determining the future use of Pershing is a high priority of the City. Its prominent location on Centennial Mall and proximity to state, city, and federal government make it a good candidate for renovation and adaptive reuse, if feasible. A study of possible uses of Pershing in the future was conducted in 2008. The Pershing Adaptive Reuse Study was completed in February 2009. (Download study) The study provides a list of nearly 25 potential uses for the building and/or site. If the Lincoln Haymarket Arena is approved, more public input will be sought to determine how Pershing Center should be used in the future. UNL will continue to use the Devaney Center for its swimming, track, wrestling and gymnastic programs. With the relocation of the basketball programs to the new arena, it will be possible for UNL to accommodate programs that need additional space or a more convenient location.
