About Project
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Bioretention Garden project is located on the west side of the main campus, adjacent to the university’s Welcome Center. The scope of this project was to replace an old, outdated Best Management Practice (BMP) that was being used for stormwater management with a new aesthetically pleasing green infrastructure feature. The garden is split into two different bioretention systems allowing runoff from both the Welcome Center rooftop and surrounding landscape to be captured, stored, and infiltrated into the amended soils within the garden. The bioretention systems are a unique teaching tool and an amenity to the UNO campus. This project was part of a multi-institution collaboration between UNO, the City of Omaha Stormwater Program, and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum.
