The Scotts provided multiple lead gifts for several new buildings on the UNMC campus (medicine, nursing, public health, and the UNMC Center for Drug Discovery/ Lozier Center for Pharmacy Sciences and Education.)
The Scotts always name the buildings after others so it was decided that the student plaza should be named after the Scotts to honor their generosity.
Located within an area from 42nd St to 38th Ave and from Dewey Ave to Jones St.
In addition to the light tower, the plaza is home to 6 other art pieces, more than 100 trees, 350 shrubs, and over 4,000 perennial plants
