USDA's Agricultural Research Service opening new facility on Innovation Campus

This is great news for the University. 

After years of waiting, USDA facility at Innovation Campus will start construction

As Nebraska Innovation Campus has grown out of the former State Fairgrounds, bringing with it state-of-the-art classrooms, startup companies spun out of research labs and new places to hang or grab a bite to eat, one piece has remained missing.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s research park, which opened in 2015, has been without a U.S. Department of Agriculture research laboratory that was once envisioned as a cornerstone of the public-private partnership in the heart of the campus.
Locating an Agricultural Research Service facility in Lincoln is no longer an elusive goal, however.
Beginning next year, construction will begin on the National Center for Resilient and Regenerative Precision Agriculture, a $160 million USDA laboratory expected to double the federal agency’s science and support staff presence at UNL.

I'm not positive of the location, but based on the four-lane boulevard in some of the pictures, I'm presuming it's going in the black box.

Trying to figure out what the existing building in the background is. (I'm assuming the whited out building is an existing building). It looks like maybe the Scarlet Hotel.  But, there's another existing building behind the hotel that isn't in these drawings.

Trying to figure out what the existing building in the background is. (I'm assuming the whited out building is an existing building). It looks like maybe the Scarlet Hotel.  But, there's another existing building behind the hotel that isn't in these drawings.

I believe all the whited-out buildings are future projects. The four-story building in the first picture is not The Scarlet. If Salt Creek Roadway is the four-lane boulevard in the background, the photo angle would about be from the top of The Scarlet.
