Few notes. The Cancer Center has accent lighting that was pink last night I noticed. The iExcel building going up at a nice pace and it appears the Ronald McDonald house on 38th and Jones will be expanded.

For those who have not seen - the iEXCEL center is looking very good and starting to complete it's footprint/shape. There looks to be a big concrete pour happening tomorrow. Still, they need quite the pace to open by fall semester 2018 (their stated goal).

In other news, Great Plains Auto Body is in the city planning notes asking for permission to change zoning for the lot on the SE corner of 42nd and Leavenworth. Makes me wonder how soon til they start moving over there and how soon we will have more concrete information on UNMC's plans for their current location.

The organization held a groundbreaking ceremony Friday for the 22,000-square-foot facility it plans to build along Leavenworth Street between 38th Avenue and 39th Street. The organization purchased the land, three parcels in all, earlier this year from the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Kyle Herber, the organization’s president, said the organization is outgrowing its existing building at 8502 West Center Road. The nonprofit is the federally designated organ procurement organization for Nebraska and Iowa’s Pottawattamie County.

Five years ago the organization had 25 employees, Herber said, but today it has nearly 55. Organ and tissue donation also has increased. Before 2012 the organization worked with an average of 40 organ donors a year, and now that runs between 70 and 80. The number of tissue donors has increased over that same time from about 100 a year to a little more than 200 and counting.

Ronald McDonald house expansion is in full force and has been going on for a few weeks now.

Still don't see how the iEXCEL building is complete by Fall 2018, even if they keep up their current 6d/w pace.

UNMC Skate-a-thon for Parkinson's

Skating is from 2pm Friday until 2pm Saturday (Jan 25th and 26th, 2018)

The skate-a-thon was the idea of an Omaha couple, Ted and the late Colleen Wuebben, who hosted their own skate-a-thon by flooding their back yard. Colleen was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2005 at the age of 52. She died in 2013. Even after Colleen's death, Ted and their five children have continued to hold the 24-hour skating event. Since moving the skate-a-thon to UNMC in 2011, the event has raised more than $140,000. An all-time record 540 skaters participated in 2015.

About Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a persistent and progressive movement disorder with symptoms that perpetually worsen over time. There is no known cause and currently no cure.

Was at UNMC today. Talked with some one. They have heard nothing further discussed about the UNMC hotel. Did say there are early discussions about the land north of the cancer center. This will likely be the next big project, but is 2-3 years out from starting.

The Munroe-Meyer Institute works out of a 60-year-old building, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center plans to give it a new home.

The UNMC program for people with disabilities and complex health needs won the go-ahead from the NU Board of Regents last week to move to the former First Data building at 6902 Pine St.
UNMC will renovate the First Data building in Aksarben at a cost of $85.1 million, including about $68 million in private money and $10 million in state money. Clinical revenue and cash from a UNMC parking fund are expected to cover the rest.

Mirnics said he hopes his institute can move into the new space in two years. He said the MMI wants to be bold in designing the building’s interior so it aligns with the latest thinking about developmental disabilities.

In other news, the new building going up on the NE corner of 42nd and Leavenworth will get a ~fancy entrance~
https://www.unmc.edu/news.cfm?match=222 ... bal_Center

The library renovation project will also begin soon - expect to see a glassy facade. There will also be a multi-story history museum/welcome center added onto the West side of the library.

I was by the building that is going up on the SE corner of 42nd & Leavenworth. I didn't think it looked like an auto repair shop but looking at the ownership of the property its is the company that owns Charlie Graham--Great Plains Auto Body. If it is in fact the Charlie Graham replacement building I give props to the company for upgrading the appearance of that corner.

Demolition of the old Charlie Graham building has started. I don't think anyone has posted it yet, but that corner is going to be green space with some Kaneko artwork. 42nd and Leavenworth is the busiest entrance to campus, so UNMC wanted a nice park-like space on that corner.

I didn’t know they were knocking down Charlie Graham what a shame. That was a awesome building. Hope the green space turns out good.

Looks like the University is rolling out more information to the public concerning the iExcel program and the new Davis Global Center with move in planned for July:

https://www.ketv.com/article/graduates- ... s/27541658

https://www.unmc.edu/news.cfm?match=23723

Based on the construction cams Charlie Graham is gone and the area has been leveled. Also, they are starting work on the south side of the building with the "interesting" front, vortex thing. I am really interested how that portion will turn out. The rest of it looks great, and there's a sky bridge on the north side!

Park space and landscaping on the Charlie Graham site.

https://www.omaha.com/livewellnebraska/ ... b78d4.html
The earthwork on the northwest corner of 42nd and Leavenworth Streets hints at what is coming. The med center will have its gateway at that intersection, and officials there guarantee it will be appealing.

Eighteen colorful Jun Kaneko-designed "columns" will rise from a low, curving wall. A walkway with benches will give people — patients, family, visitors, staffers and the public — a place to relax. Lawn and tall trees will go in. Across 42nd Street on the northeast corner, a smaller park will include trees, grass and large signs saying it's the entrance to UNMC-Nebraska Medicine.

That is another great addition to the UNMC campus. They continue to amaze me the type of projects they are able to pursue and complete, especially in the last decade or so.

Researchers have eliminated HIV in mice for the first time. Is a cure for humans next?
Scientists from Temple University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center were able to eliminate the virus using a combination of gene-editing technology and a slow-release antiviral drug, according to a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications.

Really good pics, love how big the Med center is getting. It’s basically a constant construction site, something is always being built there it seems. Blackstone is also beefing up with new midrise apartments. Blackstone always had potential but only recently has really come into its own and has gotten denser and reduced unsightly surface parking lots.
