The $8.7 million Herman Student Life Complex tripled the size of the academic space available for Husker student-athletes by using the previous space known as the Hewit Center and the space previously occupied by the West Stadium Strength Complex.

 

Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining athletic programs in the country. In 2016-17, Nebraska was one of only two collegiate programs in the nation to attract nearly 1.3 million fans across its seven major team sports through the doors of its world-class facilities. In 2016-17, Nebraska was the only Division I program to rank in the top 15 nationally in attendance in football and men's basketball. Overall, nine Husker sports ranked among the top 20 nationally in attendance in 2016-17.

This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes across 24 sports.

The partnership is believed to be the nation's only joint, on campus athletic and academic research facility.
