Over the next several months, UNMC Mail Services will begin delivering and picking up mail at a designation location in each building. Mail will no longer be delivered or picked up at each individual department.
The change will occur because of budget constraints and a drastic increase in the campus delivery territory, said Don Leuenberger, UNMC’s vice chancellor for business and finance.
“With the addition of the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Sciences Education and the impending opening of the Research Center of Excellence II, our delivery territory is about to increase by nearly 20 percent,” Leuenberger said. “The increase in delivery territory combined with current budget constraints make this change in service necessary.”
The current mail service to The Nebraska Medical Center will remain unchanged, Leuenberger said.

“We want to place our delivery sites in places most people walk by each day,” Swarts said.
Several buildings on campus already have begun operating with one mail delivery stop including the 4230 Building and the Sorrell Center. A mail box system will be installed at each drop off site as the change is implemented. Information about how to drop off and receive mail will be provided as the new system goes into place in each building.
“We don’t like that this may be an inconvenience to the campus community but unfortunately, our current situation dictates that we make this change,” Swarts said. “We appreciate everyone’s patience as we move forward with this process.”
