Clinical research and research program support spaces will also increasingly be designed as shared flexible spaces based on funding.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The new workplace model will include a variety of workstations to accommodate those who need an office, shared space, workstation or a drop-in space\/touchdown workstation based on where and how they do their work.<\/p>\n<p>There also will be enclosed and open collaborative spaces, as well as private &quot;Zoom rooms&quot; or phone booths. Spaces will be adapted over time to include technology needed for colleagues to effectively use the workspace. This will create more space for mother&rsquo;s rooms, wellness rooms, gender-neutral restrooms, staff\/student lounges and touchdown spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Redesigned workplace changes will take time and occur as requested or as required by team growth or space constraints;&nbsp;there will be some variability in implementation. Questions about the process can be asked <a href=\"mailto:mwetterberg@nebraskamed.com?subject=New%20office%20protocols\">via email<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new workspace model will begin with the Wittson Hall level 8 renovation for UNMC Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Division.&nbsp;Planning is underway for work at Kiewit Tower and the Business Service Center (4230 Building) for the remainder of the calendar year. In alignment with Nebraska Medicine&#39;s &quot;Return to Workplace&quot; timeline, some changes may be made at ECCP to accommodate hybrid staff and in-office colleagues as they return.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;While this initiative will certainly help us address current space shortages, it is much broader than that,&quot; said Kyle Meyer, PhD, dean of the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions.&nbsp;&quot;It is really about addressing the evolving nature of the workplace, and implementing strategies that most effectively align space, function, and the needs of our employees.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new workplace design will be completed in phases as new spaces are created or updated.
