Speakers will include University of Nebraska and UNMC leaders, as well as U.S. Rep. Don Bacon and Alec Gorynski, senior vice president of economic development for the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNMC owns much of the property of the triangle-shaped district, which is bordered roughly by Saddle Creek Road on the east, 48<sup>th<\/sup> Street on the west and Farnam\/Douglas Street on the north.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, the 30-acre district will include Catalyst, a building that will bring together UNMC\u2019s UNeMed and UNeTech branches to facilitate the growth of research and innovation and allow entrepreneurs, investors and innovators to collaborate in the renovated 1906 Omaha Steel Castings industrial tract. Catalyst is scheduled to open in early 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The district also includes two projects currently under construction: UNMC\u2019s CORE (Campus Operations and Research Excellence) Building, a six-story structure that will support computer-based research and wet lab-based research for drug discovery and oncology research and more; and a 750-stall parking garage that will be owned by the city of Omaha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mixed-use district will cultivate collaboration, scientific innovation and economic development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UNMC community can watch the ceremony via a Facebook Live webcast on the UNMC account.
