The campus will include a landscaped courtyard, outdoor plazas, and student and community outreach programmes aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, innovation, and spontaneous learning. 

Construction of this project began in October 2023. 

Since the ground-breaking, the project team has placed 3,800 cubic yards of concrete for foundations and 1,300 cubic yards of concrete for vertical cores. 

The team has also erected 900 tonnes of structural steel and installed 130,000ft² of metal decking. 

The UNR Mathewson Gateway District is located adjacent to Interstate 80 and downtown Reno. 

The project team reportedly prioritised incorporating local representation to kickstart economic growth. 

Specifically, more than 70% of the project’s value has been contracted to Northern Nevada-based trade partners, with a total of 23 Northern Nevada subcontractors involved in the project. 

Completion and delivery of the UNR Mathewson Gateway project is anticipated in July 2025.  

LMN Architects has also played a collaborative role in the process.Â
