UNL students head back to class in the scorching heat
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Monday was the first day back on campus for University of Nebraska-Lincoln students, and it happened to fall on an extremely hot day.
There’s plenty of options for students to stay cool between both campuses.
One of those locations is the UNL Dairy Store on East Campus.
It has many flavors of ice cream, which is made on the Innovation Campus.
On the main campus, the rec center has a variety of fun ways to stay cool and safe while exercising.
The center has eight multipurpose courts for basketball, badminton, volleyball, etc.
It also has a little over 10,000 square feet of strength and conditioning space.

The five-lane, 25-yard pool is indoors.
There’s also a walking/jogging track and plenty of cardio equipment throughout the facility.
The Cook Pavilion, which has a full turf football field, was closed most of the day due to the excessive heat and humidity inside.
It has no air conditioning, so staff at the center have to keep track of the conditions inside to make sure they’re safe.
