Innovative Smart Building Technology Takes Shape in Omaha
November 5, 2025 - 08:14
On the west lawn of the Peter Kiewit Institute in Omaha, a new 1,000-square-foot facility is quietly making waves in the field of smart building technology. With its unassuming gray siding and simple rectangular shape, the building may not attract immediate attention, but it serves as a cutting-edge research hub aimed at advancing the integration of technology in construction and building management.
Funded by a recent grant from the National Science Foundation, this facility is designed to explore and develop innovative solutions that enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in urban environments. Researchers and students will collaborate on projects that harness the latest advancements in automation, sensors, and data analytics.
The initiative not only aims to improve the functionality and performance of buildings but also seeks to create a model for future constructions that prioritize environmental stewardship. As cities continue to grow, this smart building is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of urban living.
