The Holland Computing Center, often abbreviated to the HCC, is a high performance computing resource for the University of Nebraska System. The HCC has locations in both the University of Nebraska-Lincoln June and Paul Schorr III Center for Computer Science & Engineering and the University of Nebraska Omaha Peter Kiewit Institute. The center was named after Omaha businessman Richard Holland who donated considerably to the university for the project.

Both locations provide various research computing services and hardware. The retrofitted facilities at the PKI location include the Firefly Supercomputer which “is used by scientists and engineers to study topics such as nanoscale chemistry, subatomic physics, meteorology, crashworthiness, and artificial intelligence.” Other resources include "Tusker" for shared memory processing and "Red" for LHC grid computing.
