Work Starts on Nebraska’s Biggest Construction Project

University of Nebraska "Project Health" construction site
September 24, 2025

A great deal of excavating and grading has already been done at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s “Project Health” construction project. The 7.5-acre site is southeast of Farnam Street & Saddle Creek Road. That’s where a $2.2 billion, 20-story, 2 million sq. ft. hospital will be built. The new facility will provide modernized facilities and could potentially allow UNMC to accommodate around 200 more students per year. The building won’t open until the early 2030s, but when it does, it will be one of the largest buildings in the state and one of the tallest too.
