About me:
The University of Nebraska Medical Center is a academic health science center located in Omaha, NE. UNMC, initially known as Omaha Medical College, was established in 1881 as the first medical college in Nebraska. The College became affiliated with the University of Nebraska in 1902. In 1968, the University of Nebraska brought all of the health sciences under one umbrella, creating the University of Nebraska Medical Center with a College of Medicine, College of Nursing, College of Pharmacy, College of Dentistry, College of Public Health and School of Allied Health Professions.Today, UNMC is a 500-mile campus. In addition to the main campus in Omaha, the UNMC College of Nursing has campuses located in Lincoln, Kearney and Scottsbluff and the College of Dentistry is located in Lincoln. A leader in the use of distance education, UNMC has utilized distance technologies to provide education to students in their own communities.
UNMC is a nationally recognized leader in research, academics, patient care and community outreach. In the 2008 fiscal year, UNMC researchers received more than $82 million in new research awards. UNMC's research funding from external sources has resulted in the creation of more than 2,400 highly skilled jobs in the state. Despite its recognition as a leader in academics, UNMC's tuition costs consistently rank among the lowest in its peer group. The University of Nebrask Medical Center is one of four campuses of the University of Nebraska -- The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK). ..

Named in honor of the late Charles (Chuck) Durham, the former CEO and chairman of the engineering and architectural firm, HDR, Inc., the DRC II is a twin to the Durham Research Center (DRC), which opened in 2003. The DRC II, which cost $74 million, has 10 levels, 95 laboratories and 252,179 gross square feet. Durham provided the lead gift for both research towers.
The DRC II sits directly south of the original DRC at the northwest corner of Emile Street and Durham Research Plaza (formerly 45th Street). The two buildings, which are connected on the atrium level, anchor the west end of the UNMC campus known as the Durham Research Plaza.
Initially, the DRC II will house more than 250 staff members, including 35 principal investigators, who bring in a combined $76.4 million in research funding. These physicians, scientists and public health experts will collaborate to tackle some of the most perplexing diseases of our time. www.unmc.edu/research
