The three-level, 36,000 gross<\/p>\n<p>square foot building, which is part of the Munroe-Meyer Institute at UNMC,<\/p>\n<p>is located at 45th and Dewey streets.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;The addition will allow basic scientists to work hand-in-hand<\/p>\n<p>with clinical scientists and genetic counselors. The first floor will be<\/p>\n<p>used for pediatric and orthopedic research and will include conference<\/p>\n<p>rooms, mechanical rooms, and additional areas for research support and<\/p>\n<p>recreation programs. The second and third floors are for bench lab research.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;&#8220;We already have an excellent group of people who are scattered<\/p>\n<p>all over campus. By centralizing their work effort, you not only create<\/p>\n<p>efficiencies of scale through the sharing of resources, you also create<\/p>\n<p>an environment in which collaborative thinking flourishes,&#8221; said Bruce<\/p>\n<p>Buehler, M.D., director of the Munroe-Meyer Institute and chairman of the<\/p>\n<p>UNMC pediatrics department.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;Participants in the dedication ceremony will be: UNMC Chancellor,<\/p>\n<p>William O. Berndt, Ph.D., Chancellor of UNMC, Dr. Buehler, Linda Gardels,<\/p>\n<p>president of the Hattie B. Munroe operating board, and Steve McWhorter,&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>a Hattie B. Munroe board member.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;During the ceremony, a tile wall project will be unveiled. The<\/p>\n<p>project is a wall of glass blocks and tiles designed by members of the<\/p>\n<p>Hattie B. Munroe Foundation and children who have been seen at the Munroe-Meyer<\/p>\n<p>Institute.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;Funding for the $7 million project was provided by the Hattie<\/p>\n<p>B. Munroe Foundation. Dr. Buehler said the addition represents a cooperative<\/p>\n<p>effort between a private organization, the Hattie B. Munroe Foundation<\/p>\n<p>and a state institution, UNMC.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp; The new addition is the fifth significant project funded by the<\/p>\n<p>foundation. Other projects were the Hattie B. Munroe Center for Human Genetics,<\/p>\n<p>the Habilitation Center, the Augmentative Communication Center and a three-story<\/p>\n<p>addition to the Hattie B. Munroe Pavilion in 1990. Together, the foundation<\/p>\n<p>and operating boards have donated more than $15 million to fund buildings<\/p>\n<p>and various programs.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;Since the Hattie B. Munroe Home was founded in 1922, the organization<\/p>\n<p>has been dedicated to the development and support of programs directly<\/p>\n<p>benefitting children with chronic disabilities and providing education<\/p>\n<p>and support to their families.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;The Meyer Rehabilitation Institute was constructed in 1958 as<\/p>\n<p>a memorial to Louis Meyer, a longtime Omaha resident and nationally-known<\/p>\n<p>industrialist. It began as a rehabilitation center for children suffering<\/p>\n<p>from such diseases as polio and cerebral palsy and became part of UNMC<\/p>\n<p>in 1968.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the<\/p>\n<p>state. Through its commitment to research, education and patient care,<\/p>\n<p>UNMC has established itself as one of the country&#8217;s leading centers for<\/p>\n<p>cancer research and treatment and solid organ transplantation. More than<\/p>\n<p>$27 million in research grants and contracts are awarded to UNMC scientists<\/p>\n<p>annually. In addition, UNMC&#8217;s educational programs are responsible for<\/p>\n<p>training more health professionals practicing in Nebraska than any other<\/p>\n<p>institution.<\/p>\n<p><BR>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;A world-class research facility that will centralize genetic research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus will be officially dedicated at 9:30 a.m., on Monday, July 27.
