MEETING DATE: September 5, 2008
SUBJECT: Design Development Report for the renovation of the University of
Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry building on the East
Campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Report
PREVIOUS ACTION: September 6, 2007 – The Board of Regents approved the selection of
Davis Design to provide architectural design services for the renovation
of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry
building on the East Campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
June 14, 2007 – the Board of Regents approved the program statement
and budget for the renovation of the University of Nebraska Medical
Center (UNMC) College of Dentistry building on the East Campus of
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL).
EXPLANATION: Design Development for the renovation of the UNMC College of
Dentistry Building on the UNL East Campus is now complete. This
project, primarily funded through the LB 605 mechanism, will replace
building infrastructure, restore the building to code compliance,
reorganize and renovate teaching clinics, class labs and support space,
and renew patient waiting and circulation space. An Advanced Clinical
Practice area will be renovated apart from LB 605 funding.
PROJECT COST: $8,972,000
The proposed project will retrofit or replace obsolescent systems
throughout the building that are functional but below performance and
safety standards for a medical and research facility. The building’s east
entry will be enclosed to allow installation of an elevator, creating an
accessible entry.
The proposed project will continue implementation of a goal of the
UNMC 2006-2015 Facilities Development Plan to renew and expand
education space by preparing the College of Dentistry building for
continued service well into the future.
The $8,972,000 budget displayed below is in agreement with this
project’s allocation of the LB 605 proceeds. The operating costs and
1% assessment will be included in the 2011-2012 budget request.
Proposed start of construction: October 2008
Proposed completion of construction: August 2010
