UNMC Prepares For New Nursing Building That Will Help The School Train More Nurses

Preparations have been made for a new building project at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha that will help the school train more nurses.

A ceremonial groundbreaking was recently held for the new Center for College of Nursing Sciences, next to the campus' current nursing facilities.

Plans for the 43,000-square-foot building include space for classrooms, research labs and faculty offices. It's expected to open in March 2010.

The $14 million project is being funded through private donations.

UNMC officials say the facility will allow the campus to enroll more nursing students.
