Dele Davies, MD, interim chancellor at UNMC. \u201cNot only that, the district will also become a premier destination within the city \u2014 a place where individuals want to work, live and experience vibrant entertainment. In essence, EDGE will not only elevate the university&#8217;s role as a leader in innovation and research but also strengthen the city&#8217;s economic vitality and enhance the state&#8217;s reputation as a center of excellence and opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EdgeNaming2101124-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EdgeNaming2101124-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EdgeNaming2101124-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EdgeNaming2101124-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EdgeNaming2101124-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EdgeNaming2101124.jpg 1872w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Attending the naming event for UNMC\u2019s Edge District were, from left, Alec Gorynski, senior vice president of economic development for the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce; Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, president of the University of Nebraska System; Anne Barnes, UNMC vice chancellor for business, finance and business development; H. Dele Davies, MD, UNMC interim chancellor; and U.S. Rep. Don Bacon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\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. Already, several structures that will buoy the research discovery within the neighborhood are in various stages of development. They include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Catalyst, a building that will bring UNMC\u2019s UNeMed and UNeTech branches closer, to facilitate the growth of research and innovation and allow entrepreneurs, investors and businesses to collaborate in the renovated 1906 Omaha Steel Castings industrial tract. The 170,000-square-foot structure is being developed by Koelbel &amp; Co. and GreenSlate Development. Catalyst plans to begin hosting several events later this fall and open in early 2025. In addition to the UNMC Innovation Hub within the facility, it will include 130,000 square feet for businesses, a food hall, beer taproom, restaurant and more. More information, including leasing opportunities, can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/catalystunmc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The CORE (Campus Operations and Research Excellence) Building, which will support computer-based research and wet lab-based research for drug discovery, oncology and other strategic areas. The shelled research floors are designed to provide essential lab and office environments, promoting collaboration among startup founders, industry leaders, scientists and inventors. In addition, the incubator lab space \u2013 tailored for startups \u2013 is outfitted with features and shared equipment to facilitate safe experimentation and expedite research endeavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 750-stall parking garage that will be owned by the city of Omaha. Several possibilities of how to \u201cwrap\u201d the parking structure with amenities such as dining, retail, residences and green spaces are under consideration, and details would need approval from the University of Nebraska Board of Regents before moving forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, president of the University of Nebraska System, said the EDGE District will be a game-changer for the state of Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUNMC recognizes an opportunity to expand its entrepreneurial investments and develop new programs, addressing needs both within the community and the institution. The pressing needs of the evolving health care landscape, such as the health care workforce crisis and regulatory challenges, highlight the urgency for such initiatives,\u201d said Dr. Gold, who served as chancellor at UNMC from 2014 until earlier this year. \u201cEDGE District will not only be a place where innovation and discovery take place, it also will provide infrastructure so that we\u2019re able to take those developments to market right here, instead of losing start-up companies to the coasts or other locations. EDGE is not just a local or regional asset but a significant player on the global stage, poised to lead in health care transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNMC also revealed EDGE District\u2019s logo on Thursday. The logo is a triangular shape that subtly nods to both the district and the \u201cE\u201d for EDGE. The kaleidoscope of colors represents the many perspectives within the district \u2013 community members, startup founders, corporate partners, district residents, faculty, students or others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"115848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict3101024-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict3101024-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict3101024-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict3101024-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict3101024-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict3101024.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">East side of Saddle Creek Road to EDGE District<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"115849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict4101024-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict4101024-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict4101024-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict4101024-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict4101024-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/EDGEDistrict4101024.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View from the northeast corner of Saddle Creek Road and Farnam Street looking south\/southwest into EDGE District<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne Barnes, vice chancellor for business, finance and business development at UNMC, said the EDGE District strives to grow new businesses, incubate ideas and foster collaborations, advancing research, tech transfer partnerships and community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile EDGE aligns with UNMC strategies and efforts, it also provides unique value through complementary initiatives and opportunities,\u201d said Barnes, who also serves as the interim chief financial officer for the NU System. \u201cThrough these efforts, EDGE District will foster an independent yet synergistic relationship that will enhance the district and ultimately, complement UNMC\u2019s work in improving people\u2019s lives through better research, education, clinical care and outreach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes notes that UNMC has engaged several stakeholder groups over the past few years in developing the district.
