History
Do Space, a nonprofit community technology center in Omaha, Nebraska, was first announced in 2014 as the city’s first digital library. It was set up in a former Borders Bookstore at 72nd and Dodge Streets, just west of the University of Nebraska Omaha. Major renovations by Kiewit Corporation, with design by HDR, Inc., were completed in 2015, and the center opened that fall. Do Space quickly formed partnerships with Metropolitan Community College and the Omaha Public Library. In 2023, the original building was torn down to make room for the new Omaha Central Public Library. During construction, Do Space’s resources moved temporarily to the Milton R. Abrahams Branch near 90th and Fort Streets. In April 2026, Do Space reopened on the second floor of the completed Omaha Central Library.
