Construction of the $77 million, 284,000-square<\/p>\n<p>foot building will begin in April 2001 with completion in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Peter Kiewit Foundation has a long tradition of investing in projects<\/p>\n<p>that will benefit the entire state and advance the state&#8217;s economy,&#8221; said<\/p>\n<p>UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. I&#8217;m absolutely thrilled that the<\/p>\n<p>foundation has deemed our research center to be worthy of this major funding.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an incredible show of support for the project, and it reaffirms our<\/p>\n<p>belief that the Research Center of Excellence will produce results that<\/p>\n<p>will impact all Nebraskans for generations to come. &#8220;The Kiewit Foundation<\/p>\n<p>gift is a perfect example of how public and private entities can join together<\/p>\n<p>to do wonderful things that benefit all of society.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The project is part of an overall $137.3 million fund raising initiative<\/p>\n<p>for the University of Nebraska Foundation. The initiative also includes<\/p>\n<p>construction of three other buildings on the UNMC\/Nebraska Health System<\/p>\n<p>campus B a $40 million clinical building linking NHS University Hospital<\/p>\n<p>and NHS Clarkson Hospital at 43rd and Dewey Avenue; a $10 million parking<\/p>\n<p>garage at 44th and Emile streets; and a $10.3 million utility plant at<\/p>\n<p>40th Street and Dewey Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>The Peter Kiewit Foundation gift is the second major donation toward<\/p>\n<p>the Research Center of Excellence. In August, Omaha philanthropist Charles<\/p>\n<p>(Chuck) Durham, chairman of the Durham Foundation, made a donation believed<\/p>\n<p>to be the largest single gift ever received by UNMC. The amount of that<\/p>\n<p>gift will remain confidential at the donor&#8217;s request.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our trustees are pleased to be able to offer this kind of support to<\/p>\n<p>the visionary research that UNMC is conducting,&#8221; said Lyn Wallin Ziegenbein,<\/p>\n<p>executive director of the Peter Kiewit Foundation. &#8220;Peter Kiewit was a<\/p>\n<p>builder during his lifetime. He would be proud of this grant made by his<\/p>\n<p>trustees which will promote the health and wellness of all Nebraskans,<\/p>\n<p>offer research leadership worldwide and strengthen the state&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Medical Center is something that all Nebraskans are proud of. Being<\/p>\n<p>recognized for excellence in an extremely competitive field is a source<\/p>\n<p>of pride for our state. We believe that the Research Center of Excellence<\/p>\n<p>will provide the optimal research environment for many exciting scientific<\/p>\n<p>initiatives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ziegenbein said the Peter Kiewit Foundation has a long history of supporting<\/p>\n<p>the University of Nebraska. In 1996, the Kiewit Foundation made a $15 million<\/p>\n<p>grant to help fund construction of the Peter Kiewit Institute of Information<\/p>\n<p>Science, Technology and Engineering on the University of Nebraska at Omaha<\/p>\n<p>campus. In addition, the foundation currently has a $500,000 grant to the<\/p>\n<p>University of Nebraska-Lincoln to help in the renovation of the College<\/p>\n<p>of Journalism. The Kiewit Foundation has donated nearly $44 million to<\/p>\n<p>the University of Nebraska since 1980.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Maurer said the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce has gone on record<\/p>\n<p>as saying that&nbsp; UNMC and the Peter Kiewit Institute of Information<\/p>\n<p>Science, Technology and Engineering at UNO are&nbsp; two of the most significant<\/p>\n<p>institutions in the long-term economic future of Omaha.<\/p>\n<p>Terry Fairfield, president and chief executive officer of the University<\/p>\n<p>of Nebraska Foundation, said: &#8220;The Peter Kiewit Foundation has been incredibly<\/p>\n<p>supportive of&nbsp; the University of Nebraska over the years. Words can&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>adequately express our appreciation for a gift of this magnitude. I have<\/p>\n<p>no doubt that this gift &#8212; like the foundation&#8217;s previous contributions<\/p>\n<p>B will advance university programs to new levels of excellence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The research center will include 116 research laboratories, a 225-seat<\/p>\n<p>auditorium, two smaller auditoriums with 80- and 40-seat capacities, and<\/p>\n<p>approximately 14 classrooms or seminar rooms. Enclosed and outdoor pedestrian<\/p>\n<p>walkways will link the new facility to the rest of the campus. State funding<\/p>\n<p>would be requested for operating and maintenance expenses for the research<\/p>\n<p>center, Dr. Maurer said.<\/p>\n<p>When completed, it will create a research plaza on the west end of the<\/p>\n<p>UNMC campus. In addition to the Research Center of Excellence, the research<\/p>\n<p>mall would include Swanson Hall, which includes a variety of research labs,<\/p>\n<p>and the Munroe-Meyer Institute, which houses the Hattie B. Munroe Center<\/p>\n<p>for Human Molecular Genetics. Both the research plaza and the Research<\/p>\n<p>Center of Excellence will be named in honor of the Durhams.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the<\/p>\n<p>program statement for the Research Center of Excellence at its May meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Final plans for the building should be ready to submit to the regents in<\/p>\n<p>December.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Maurer said the research center will enable UNMC to enhance its<\/p>\n<p>research in a number of areas including cancer, organ transplantation biology,<\/p>\n<p>neurosciences, cardiovascular diseases, developmental biology, genetics<\/p>\n<p>and molecular genetics.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty percent of UNMC&#8217;s existing research space has been deemed unsuitable<\/p>\n<p>by National Science Foundation standards. Laboratories in Poynter, Bennett<\/p>\n<p>and Shackelford halls and the University Geriatric Center cannot accommodate<\/p>\n<p>the highly technical research of UNMC scientists.<\/p>\n<p>When he became chancellor nearly two years ago, Dr. Maurer established<\/p>\n<p>a goal for UNMC to double its research funding in five years and triple<\/p>\n<p>it in 10 years. During the past year, UNMC&#8217;s research funding increased<\/p>\n<p>by 31 percent and now exceeds $40 million, including more than $25 million<\/p>\n<p>in federal funding from such sources as the National Institutes of Health,<\/p>\n<p>the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense and Veterans Administration.<\/p>\n<p>The Peter Kiewit Foundation was formed in 1980 from the estate of the<\/p>\n<p>late Omahan, Peter Kiewit, who died in 1979. It is the largest private,<\/p>\n<p>independent foundation in Nebraska and has assets of nearly $600 million.<\/p>\n<p>In its 20 years of operation, it has awarded grants totaling more than<\/p>\n<p>$335 million throughout the state of Nebraska. It is not related in any<\/p>\n<p>way to the operating companies which bear Peter Kiewit&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Kiewit Foundation Makes $17.5 Million Grant to Help Fund UNMC Research Center of Excellence In its largest gift ever to the University of Nebraska, the Peter Kiewit Foundation has made a $17.5 million grant to help fund construction of the Research Center of Excellence at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
