Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Higher Education
The University of Nebraska Medical Center canceled classes in the Davis Global Center on Monday and Tuesday after a leak caused by a faulty water connection. Seven classes were canceled on November 2 and 3, and affected classes will move to other parts of the building starting Wednesday.
Why it matters
Students in Omaha who take classes at UNMC's Davis Global Center are losing scheduled instruction while the building is repaired, which can affect course progress and schedules. Tours of the building are also canceled this week, which matters for prospective students deciding where to enroll.
Seven classes were canceled on November 2 and 3, 2026, and campus classes were canceled Monday and Tuesday. Tours in the Davis Global Center are canceled this week and will be reassessed next week as remediation progresses.
The players
University of Nebraska Medical Center
A public academic health center in Omaha that trains medical, nursing, and other health professionals and offers programs with tuition and aid options that vary by school.
The details
A faulty water connection in the mechanical section on the building's top floor caused the leak, which crews stopped immediately after initial assessment. Crews have continued remediation work on the affected areas of the facility. Classes affected by the leak will be moved to other parts of the building beginning Wednesday, and the iEXCEL program, which is housed in the Davis Center, is part of the affected space.
Timeline
November 2, 2026: Seven classes canceled during remediation.
November 3, 2026: Seven more classes canceled and campus classes canceled Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday, November 4, 2026: Affected classes move to other parts of the building.
Next week: Tours will be reassessed as remediation progresses.
Education Landscape
Facility disruptions like this one are a recurring part of campus life, and schools typically respond by relocating courses within existing buildings. The episode is a short-term operational event rather than a shift in tuition, aid, or enrollment policy.
If you have a class in the Davis Global Center, check your schedule for the new room assignment starting Wednesday, and contact your instructor or the UNMC registrar's office with any questions. Prospective students with tours booked this week should ask the admissions office whether their visit has been rescheduled.
The takeaway
Campus facility disruptions usually come with rescheduled classes rather than lost credit, so keep an eye on your updated room assignment. If you have questions about a canceled tour or class move, ask UNMC's admissions or student services office directly.
What happens next
Affected classes will move to other parts of the building starting Wednesday, November 4, 2026, and tours will be reassessed next week as remediation progresses.
