North Omaha Intergenerational Human Services Campus

North Omaha Intergenerational Human Services Campus

Morrissey Engineering provided design services for the North Omaha Intergenerational Human Services Campus. This project, led by Holy Name Housing Corporation and Heartland Family Service, stimulates and complements commercial growth in North Omaha, while focusing on services tailored to the lives and needs of neighborhood residents.
