The Eastern Nebraska Veterans’ Home is a single story healthcare complex comprised of a main building and three connecting wings for a total of 120,000 SF. A unique feature of this project is a tower bell standing 69 feet tall as well as a town square that is 47 feet in height. Both structures include glulam beams and shiplap wood ceiling deck with exposed steel plates and tension rods.

The facility contains 90 bed units for veterans who require supervised living. There are five separate storm shelters that consist of block walls with poured slab on deck tops. The entire building contains a wet pipe sprinkler system along with a dry pipe system in the truss area.
