The tower crane at the UNMC residence hall construction project will be disassembled and removed from the site on Aug. 11 and 12.
Removal of equipment may impact traffic on 42nd Street. Construction personnel will be on site to assist with traffic as needed.
Exterior work on the new residence hall is ongoing, with window installation currently in progress. Framing on the first-floor student commons space has started. Interior finishes at the unit floors are scheduled to start in early fall.
The 200,000-plus-square-foot residence hall will accommodate approximately 300 UNMC students on the east edge of the Omaha campus at 39th Street and Dewey Avenue. The six-story facility is expected to be open for occupancy in August 2026.
Meantime, a new, two-level parking deck adjacent to the residence hall has opened. The 144-stall parking deck is a designated student lot (Lot No. 14S) and available to students with valid parking permits. Upper-level access will be from Dewey Avenue; lower-level access will be via Jones Street.
