Westside Student Life Complex

Omaha, Nebraska

This $30 million project for Westside Community Schools in Nebraska was completed in November 2025 and included partial demolition of the existing high school, including the natatorium, aquatics locker rooms, secondary gym, and two-story locker rooms, to make way for a new 67,000-square-foot Life Complex addition. The addition features a new natatorium with pool, spectator seating, and locker rooms, as well as a fitness center, training center, multipurpose room, innovation classroom, secondary gym, and supporting spaces. The project also encompassed approximately 13,000 square feet of interior renovations, including a Life Skills Suite, Fitness Studio, Batting Cages, and a College and Career Readiness Center.

Safety – This project involved a complex addition on a tight, active school site. Our team developed detailed wayfinding, signage, and site fencing plans to ensure student safety remained the top priority.

“From the outset, we knew our campus logistics were complex, and choosing The Weitz Company has made our project’s transition seamless. From day one, Weitz has consistently gone above and beyond expectations, and I am confident in saying that we wouldn’t be where we are today without the exceptional leadership of the construction site team.”
