OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Creighton University has demolished five buildings near the campus, but officials say they have no immediate plans to build on the newly vacant land.
University spokeswoman Cindy Workman said the buildings were empty and at least one was badly deteriorated. They were torn down last week and had housed mostly industrial businesses.
The school has said before that it plans to build an $82 million dental clinic to replace its aging, smaller space next to the Creighton University Medical Center. It’s seeking $8 million from the Nebraska Legislature to help pay for the building.
