\nOn Monday, UNMC’s Facilities, Management and Planning invited faculty, staff and students from the College of Nursing and the College of Pharmacy to join them for a party on the plaza.<\/p>\n

In July 2001, construction workers begin tearing up the plaza area — the stairs and green space between the College of Pharmacy and College of Nursing — to waterproof the tunnel below 42nd Street that connects Wittson Hall to the two colleges and extend it to the new east utility plant. <\/p>\n

“We rerouted you every way you can imagine and just wanted to say thank you for pardoning our dust and working with us,” said Darren Dageforde of UNMC’s Facilities, Management and Planning.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Ada Lindsey, dean of the College of Nursing, “thanked” construction workers for the 12 months of entertainment, which included an assortment of machinery to watch, hear and occasionally feel, days of noises and vibrations, periodic fire alarms and endless questions on how to access the building. <\/p>\n

“It’s been worth it,” she said, of the recently finished plaza and third-floor Learning Resource Center.<\/p>\n

Clarence Ueda, dean of the College of Pharmacy, praised Facilities, Management and Planning employees for creating a more aesthetically pleasing area between the two colleges. “It reminds me of a modern baseball plaza,” he piqued. “The only thing missing is a baseball field.”<\/p>\n

Renovation of the College of Nursing’s Learning Resource Center includes a new clinical skills area, complete with hospital beds for students to practice their nursing skills, a secured computer area for viewing patient records and an area for faculty to produce up to 42-inch research posters.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
