Highlights

  • The completed Health Science Collaborative (HSC) has transformed 30,000 square feet in the Health & Kinesiology Building into state-of-the-art research labs, teaching spaces, and community areas.

  • Newly designed labs expand opportunities for student-led research and experiential learning, preparing future clinicians, researchers, and practitioners to address complex health issues and improve outcomes across diverse populations.

  • Faculty-led programs housed in the HSC advance health equity through impactful community partnerships and research collaborations with organizations including the Department of Defense, NIH, and the National Strategic Research Institute.


Originally envisioned as a renovation of the underutilized squash and racquetball corridor in the Health & Kinesiology Building, the Health Science Collaborative now stands as a dynamic, student-centered hub for health innovation. The new facility includes advanced laboratories supporting research in areas such as Exercise and Vascular Physiology, Physical and Intellectual Disabilities, Sports Medicine and Biomechanics, Early Childhood Development, and Sexual and Reproductive Health.

"It’s been exhilarating to see the construction progress and for the dream of the Health Science Collaborative to become a reality."

 Dr. Adam B. Rosen

"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 Director Adam B. Rosen, Ph.D., ATC. "The Health Science Collaborative is an exciting opportunity for the School of Health & Kinesiology to expand our broad research portfolio into a unified space and vision."

The facility strengthens UNO’s capacity to attract and retain top students and faculty, further aligning with the university’s mission and values ofexcellence, engagement, discovery, integrity, and Maverick spirit. With its unified vision, the HSC enhances UNO’s competitiveness in securing external funding and deepens the school’s commitment to community-engaged scholarship.
