Creighton Opens $24M Quad Replacing Baseball Fields in Omaha

Creighton University opened a $24 million, 5.7-acre quad at the center of its Omaha campus, replacing former baseball and softball fields with green space, an amphitheater, a fountain plaza and gathering areas. The donor-funded project is intended for major events such as graduation, student orientation and alumni reunions, as well as everyday student use, and university leaders say it will strengthen campus community and connect with downtown Omaha. The quad is part of a broader campus expansion and investment in the city’s urban core, with additional facilities—including a 50,000-square-foot athletics center—under development.
