UNMC, with its clinical partner Nebraska Medicine, is committed to enhancing the quality of life for everyone through cutting edge research, education and world class health care.

In addition to their Better Buildings Challenge goal, UNMC has also committed to become carbon neutral (net zero building emissions) by 2030. UNMC maintains similar goals for improvements in recycling, waste reduction, transportation and parking. UNMC has already reduced annual building energy consumption and annual peak electricity demand 25% between 2010 and 2015.
