Remodeling Progress Report
Work is underway on the remodeling of the NSEA Headquarters. NSEA staff has moved operations to their temporary location at 27th and Old Cheney where they anticipate they will be until the summer of 2009. Demolition and asbestos removal of the interior of the headquarters building is underway. Follow this link for pictures of the work as of April 2008. The last of the tenants are scheduled to move out of the 4th floor in late April at which point the building will be completely vacant.

The NSEA Staff in Lincoln has relocated to a temporary location to facilitate the remodeling project of the headquarters office.
The temporary site is located at 5601 S. 27th Street (the northwest corner of 27 & Old Cheney in South Lincoln).
To make the transition as smooth as possible for our members, arrangements have been made for regular postal service to continue, using the same address:
605 S. 14th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508.
Phone numbers are also still the same: in Lincoln, (402) 475-7611; or toll free (800) 742-0047; the fax number is (402) 475-2630.
Weitz Construction has been chosen as the contractor.
Please check back for more information as it becomes available.
After interviewing three different architectural firms in Lincoln, the recommendation was made and approved to use Sinclair Hille Architects to handle the remodeling of the NSEA building. This decision was based on the following factors:
The team at Sinclair Hille were excellent listeners. We felt they did the best job of being responsive to the information we provided. They have extensive experience working in the Capitol Environs. They also have recent experience working on buildings with issues similar to ours. They are very strong with regard to environmentally friendly "green" architecture.
We are very comfortable with the Sinclair Hille team and believe that they will be excellent to work with. We believe they are genuinely interested in listening to or ideas and visions and helping us turn them into a reality to meet our needs as we move forward.
