Based Learning

Metropolitan Community College has three main campuses and many satellite centers in the Greater Omaha Community.

The Fort Omaha Campus is located at the crossroads of 30th and Fort

Streets in North Omaha.

It was once home of the Fort Omaha Balloon School

It is now reclaimed space.

Students from across the community and around the world

attend classes in a variety of programs.

As students enter the campus from 30th and Fort Streets; however, to

the east of the College is the former site of Mr. C’s.

It was a local restaurant with a large parking lot.

Former Mr. C’s

Mr. C’s has been closed for many years.

The fence is torn down in places, the building is infested and the

parking surface is broken.

A local benefactor and previous graduate would like to improve the

image of the MCC Fort Omaha Campus entrance and is willing to

purchase the land and make improvements. But she needs

some suggestions…

Working in teams, identify how to repurpose the land while making it

functional and profitable for the College and the surrounding

community.

In 7 minutes, you will be expected to report to the benefactor!
