New parking structure.

The main shaft is fully erect.......... so you can get a perspective of its finished height.

Love the phrasing there. Yes I have the humor of an eight year old. Sue me.

How long can it remain erect? That's the big, and rather hard to answer question.

RNcyanide · Post by **RNcyanide** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:31 pm

If it's anything longer than four hours, an IV shunt will be needed to decrease the erection.

Ok you just made me lightheaded.

Great news!

Does this include the 4th floor for the biocontainment training facility?

MSizlack · Post by **MSizlack** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 3:51 pm

It's still subject to state funds. What I hear is second hand, but talk is that the university and state really wants it to keep Nebraska in the spot light as a leader in bio containment.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 3:55 pm

They are looking for federal funds too.

Saw a drawing yesterday of the cancer center in its finished form from a couple new views. In each, the parking garage to the West of the circle drive was gone. I don't know if it was to allow for a better view of the finished cancer center, but none of the pics I saw would have obstructed it very much.

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Sat Apr 18, 2015 10:44 am

Hmm well that is such a necessary place to park. There are constantly people popping in to hit up the pharmacy or to get blood drawn etc. etc. even if they opted the relax ate the parking facility the only other options would be much farther from its current location. And even with skywalks with moving sidewalks patients would have to travel quite a bit from their car to those high traffic services. But maybe the current situation is unique with other major hospitals not have the convenience.

MSizlack · Post by **MSizlack** » Sat Apr 18, 2015 11:32 am

Supposedly the large parking garage to the South of the circle will be made patient parking only and for the cancer center. They can add on ( I think) three more levels.

Haven't heard that Lot 50 will gonpt only. Have heard that the current pt parking will eventually go away as it is aging past it's engineered life expectancy.

Where did the title change of this thread come from? I didn't see anything online.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:35 pm

Pretty sure when they fixed the board the name edits went to the original titles.

Oh gotcha. I was a little confused. And excited. Mostly confused.

Post by **Brad** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 3:57 pm

So should I be fixing names like I did on this thread or will the problem fix itself?

I was able to restore the titles last night. I left this one out since it had already been changed.

220 rooms with ground floor retail? Thats what a guest on Grow Omaha shared.

They have 3 landing pads, the low one next to Clarkson and then two on top of of the Hospital. I am assuming the hotel would close the lower Clarkson pad, correct? And does the Cancer Center have one of the two upper pads closed also?

I think I heard there will be new landing pads on top of the cancer center when its finished.

I think there are two.

Saddle Creek and Dodge
42nd Between Haney and Dodge

MSizlack · Post by **MSizlack** » Mon Apr 27, 2015 12:23 pm

Currently 2 roof top pad with only one open and the Clarkson pad. Cancer center will have 2 pad with a 3rd possible if needed in the future. The temporary pads will probably be in the parking lot on the South-West corner of Farnam and Saddle Creek. Sounds like they need to vote on the temporary pads (for cash) to get it done. They are trying hard not to delay the UNMC hotel.

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Mon Apr 27, 2015 1:41 pm

Woah, I'm a little confused... So there are three now with one not operable, they are building two maybe three on the buffete cancer building and temporary ones kiddy corner to Don &Millies?

FYI iamjacom, I don't know the rules about drone use, but recently one was seen by UNMCsecurity and passed along to OPD and FAA as a concern to the opporation of the medical helicopters.

Just a guess from what I have read, as long as the landing pad at the hospital is not classified as an "Airport", I think they are fine as long as they stay below 400'.

MSizlack · Post by **MSizlack** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 1:20 pm

Again, I have idea about rules with drones. I over heard a representative of LifeFlight mention it to a UNMC manager at a meeting in March when they where discussing concerns about the tower crane that the developer will be putting up for the hotel. Don't want anyone to get in trouble.
