Fly Together is a nearly $300 million investment in Creighton athletics and recreation through new and upgraded facilities across 17th Street from the rising Builder's District and Kiewit Corporation's headquarters. Entirely donor-funded, Fly Together launches with a $100 million gift from the Heider Family Foundation, the largest gift in Creighton's history.
Creighton & Omaha Fly Together
Investing in Nebraska
Fly Together will attract more prospective students, driving admissions and Nebraska brain gain. More than 80% of Creighton students come from out of state. Nearly half of all undergraduates stay in Nebraska after graduating.
A New Front Porch
Fly Together merges the campus with the $650 million Builder's District, a 10-block urban village, giving the University a new front porch to Omaha. This union activates North Downtown like never before.
Upping Our Game
In an evolving era for intercollegiate athletics, Fly Together enhances our facilities for Creighton's 300 student-athletes. It will also offer new, top-tier spaces for student fitness, intramurals and club sports.
