This rendering shows the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s planned $2.19 billion hospital to be constructed on the southeast corner of Farnam Street and Saddle Creek Road. The 1.27 million sq. ft. hospital would have 556 beds. The 18-to-20-story building could be as high as 400 feet, making it the third tallest building in Omaha (fourth tallest after the Mutual of Omaha tower is completed). The NU Board of Regents last week approved $50 million to pay for design costs. Foundational construction work could begin next May. Because of the size and scope of the project, opening likely wouldn’t occur until well after 2030.
