UNO STEM TRAIL CENTER
University of Nebraska Omaha
Warm Walls
of Wood
The Uno Stem Trail Center is designed as a dynamic showcase of research in action, anchored by a warm, inviting environment that supports collaboration and discovery. Central to this educational experience is the use of NATURA Camellia plywood texture wall panels, whose natural tones and layered texture bring a sense of comfort and approachability to the expansive 10,500 s.f. space. These elements help transform a highly technical setting into one that feels welcoming, human-centered, and conducive to learning.
As a central location for education and STEM engagement, the center features flexible, technology-rich environments that support teaching, research, and inquiry-based learning. The thoughtfully designed interiors balance innovation with warmth, encouraging educators and learners alike to feel at ease while exploring new ideas.
The expansive entry area serves as a versatile gathering space for breakout sessions, seminars, and collaborative events. Surrounded by the calming presence of natural materials, this space fosters meaningful connections between educators and industry professionals, empowering them to share knowledge, refine teaching practices, and collectively advance a more STEM-integrated future.
The depth and individual characteristics of NATURA support learning and innovation.
Designed to display research in action.
