A tower of research gives new hope...
"The glass, steel and concrete structure rises from the ground and towers over Saddle Creek Road. It stands with its twin and marks the west end of the UNMC campus. For some, the Durham Research Centers, are a source of pride. But, for many more people, it is a symbol for hope, progress and cures." - UNMC Discover
Named in honor of the late Charles (Chuck) Durham, former chairman and chief executive of the engineering and architectural firm HDR Inc., who provided the lead gift for both projects, the Durham Research Centers' two towers contain a combined total of more than 550,000 square feet of space dedicated to research.
Working inside Durham Research Center I and II are physicians, scientists tackling some of the most perplexing diseases of our time.
