Over the past ten years, the College of Nursing has benefited from donor generosity with
the addition of new buildings on four of its campuses, including the Center for Nursing Science in the Omaha campus and the new building for
the UNMC College of Nursing Lincoln Division and the UNL University Health Center on the Lincoln campus.
The Lincoln Division of the UNMC College of Nursing is located in a cutting edge facility that is shared with the University Health
Center of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Located near 19th and Antelope Valley on the edge of UNL’s city campus, the
College of Nursing’s portion of the building was designed to attract more nursing faculty and raise the level of nursing education and
research. Interprofessional collaboration is available with the UNMC College of Dentistry located on UNL’s East Campus.
The
location allows for a four-year college experience while attending nursing school. Undergraduate students are able to be involved in UNL
campus activities, Greek life, and take part in sport, art, and cultural events.
“The new facility expands the college’s capacity for
continued growth and excellence in learning and discovery,” said Juliann Sebastian, Ph.D., dean of the UNMC College of Nursing. “This unique
and wonderful building has world-class active learning spaces, immersive learning technology and expanded research space where students will
learn to be outstanding nurses and leaders. The new space also increases capacity for future program expansion.”
The
107,000-square-foot building opened in 2018 and cost $43.9 million, with the College of Nursing portion estimated at $19.8 million, which
was covered by state funds and private contributions.
The Lincoln Division provides high and low fidelity simulations available for
practicing skill, and virtual reality learning equipment connected with the other four College of Nursing campuses. Both undergraduate and
graduate nursing students utilize Learning Resource Center mannequins and space to practice nursing skills. High fidelity simulation
consists of interaction with computerized mannequins in an environment that closely resembles reality.
