The Collaborating Center for Public Health and Community Service is a joint project of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the University of Nebraska at Omaha designed to promote the health and development of Nebraska’s populations and communities through campus-community collaboration in education, training and service. It serves as home base for a number of small, community-based organizations and projects whose collective long-term goal is optimal community well being.
The Collaborating Center is designed similar to a small business incubator, where the co-location of multiple programs allows them to achieve an economy of scale to support their basic infrastructure. Shared features including affordable, accessible office and meeting space; shared telecommunications, university-supported computing systems and the Internet; and basic administrative support such as photocopying capabilities and meeting space. The Collaborating Center’s open office design reflects the principles of communication and collaboration and promotes a neighborhood atmosphere that relies on shared resources and peer exchange.
The Collaborating Center is located in Omaha’s historic Dundee neighborhood halfway between the two campuses at 115 South 49th Avenue. Non-university occupants are nonprofit organizations that sublease space for two-year periods.
