Event Space

The Wigton Atrium provides a beautiful backdrop for your next event.

Designated spaces in the Wigton Heritage Center are available for appropriate use by UNMC departments and student organizations, and University affiliates (such as Nebraska Medicine). It is not available for non-UNMC-sponsored groups at this time. The department/organization reserving a space must be the same department/organization paying for and using the space for the initially stated purpose.

Public spaces in UNMC facilities offer a positive, safe environment for patients and visitors. All activities, displays and people associated with them will maintain a professional environment consistent with the education, research and mission of UNMC. All sales or activities for profit, including UNMC-sponsored vendor fairs, must have received approval by the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance before scheduling space.
