POINTOFPRIDE: HEALTHSCIENCECOLLABORATIVENEARSCOMPLETION The new Health Science Collaborative (HSC), a project of the School of Health & Kinesiology (H&K), is a transformational opportunity not only to advance the school into the future but also to change the way people see and access the UNO campus.

Originating from a vision in the underutilized squash and racquetball corridor of the Health & Kinesiology Building, this initiative aims to revolutionize the school by providing advanced research facilities, innovative teaching spaces, and community-focused engagement areas.

Slated for an official grand opening in Spring 2025, the Health Science Collaborative is nearing completion.

Once finished, the Health Science Collaborative will encompass approximately 30,000 square feet of renovated space, housing state-of-the-art laboratories supporting research in Exercise and Vascular Physiology, Physical and Intellectual Disabilities, Sports Medicine and Biomechanics, Early Childhood Development, and Sexual and Reproductive Health.

This initiative emphasizes student-centered research, preparing future clinicians, researchers, and practitioners. H&K faculty, renowned for their expertise in STEM, public health, and the healthcare fields, will guide students through experiential learning and research.

Current projects include collaborations with the Department of Defense, NIH-funded health research, and partnerships with the National Strategic Research Institute and a growing number of community organizations.

These efforts enhance the capacity for securing external funding and provide invaluable hands-on experience for students.

"It?s been exhilarating to see the construction progress and for the dream of the Health Science Collaborative to become a reality," said H&K Interim Director Adam B. Rosen, Ph.D., ATC. "The Health Science Collaborative is an exciting opportunity for the School of Health and Kinesiology to expand our broad research portfolio into a unified space and vision."

The Health Science Collaborative will provide essential space for expanding H&K?s teaching, research, and practice capabilities.

The new facility will attract and retain talented faculty and students, aligning with UNO?s values of excellence, engagement, inclusion, discovery, integrity, and Maverick spirit.

This transformative initiative promises to enhance the university?s capacity and competitiveness, fostering a brighter future for all.
