The new campus "front door", opened in fall 2019.

• Green space located at the intersection of 42nd and Leavenworth streets; designed to create an entry point to campus.
  
• On the site that was formerly home to the Charlie Graham auto body store, which relocated to the southeast corner of the same intersection.
  
• Features 18 columns created by Omaha artist Jun Kaneko amongst a grove of mature trees. Benches line the walk and provide visitors, ​medical center employees, and students the opportunity to seek calmness and beauty amid a tranquil park-like setting.
  
• Donated by philanthropists Bob and Polina Schlott. Bob was the CEO and owner of Omaha-based Warren Distribution, the largest North ​American manufacturer of private-label auto and machinery lubricants and Polina had a career as an acquisition professional for the U.S. Army ​Corps of Engineers.
  
• Part of the dedication included a plaque in honor of Polina's mother, Larisa Poluektova, MD, PhD, a professor in the UNMC Department of ​Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience, and co-director of the Translational Mouse Model Core Facility.
  
• The project also included two monument signs, directly across the street to the east, designed to be seen by traffic approaching campus from ​the east, west, and south and are lit at night.
