The Sicatoka Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 You forgot the third part of the Standard Guarantee: - It'll be expensive. They don't put that in the guarantee, just the invoice. Quote
JackJD Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 60 foot clear height. http://und.edu/features/2013/09/high-performance-center.cfm The new facility at SDSU is 82'2" tall -- outside. Inside, the clear height at midfield is 61'8". The SDSU facility does not have a curved roof like UND...the SDSU facility (the field / running track are east/west) slopes from 82'2" on the south down to 70'6" on the south. When the UND facility is completed, 60 feet will look plenty high. I suppose the scale of the UND building may make the roof seem closer compared to the SDSU facility but UND's facility will be 30,000 sq feet larger than SDSU's. I've been in the SDSU facility a number of times and I can't imagine how big the UND facility is going to be. Did I read correctly that UND is getting that building done for a little more than $13 million? If so, that's a bargain. Quote

I think the total will end up around 30m Quote
VMeister Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Did I read correctly that UND is getting that building done for a little more than $13 million? If so, that's a bargain. It was originally $13.5 MM, later increased to $19.5 MM for Phase I. I think they added some things when they realized Phase II might be a while. http://ndus.edu/uploads/resources/4296/22.-und-indoor-practice-facility-increased-spending-authority-111213-final.pdf Quote
UND Fan Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 But they now moving some things back to Phase 2 as the cost of construction and construction materials are increasing rather rapidly. This is why I had hoped those of us on SS.com would help fund something originally scheduled for Phase 1 that is being pushed back due to lack of funds. Quote

Oh cripes, that is the last thing we need right now. Quote
jdub27 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Hopefully the drop in oil prices causing a little bit of a slow down out west will drop construction prices a little bit and they can lock some stuff in. Quote

This is why I had hoped those of us on SS.com would help fund something originally scheduled for Phase 1 that is being pushed back due to lack of funds. Recently? Or before construction started? Isn't that what contracts are for. The longer you wait for phase 2 the higher the construction costs. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 I just drove by today. I would say the roof is 60-65% on. The North endwall is on and both sidewalls are about 50%. Looks like they made good progress the last week or so with the mild weather. Quote
forksandspoons Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 what are the chances of a new stadium/memorial renovation happening in the next 15 or so years? so far it seems they have followed this plan relatively closely. and the IPF is starting to resemble the look of the drawings.. UND Master Plan Quote
forksandspoons Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Consistency with Campus Facility Master Plan and Budget: This project has been developed as part of a detailed athletics master plan undertaken in 2005 in response to the transition to NCAA Division 1 competition. An indoor practice facility was identified in this plan as one of the most critical needs for a successful transition to that division. It is a crucial element for the recruitment of student athletes and their subsequent success in both academic and athletic endeavors. The plan fully integrates with the campus master plan submitted to the SBHE in 2008 and remains fully consistent at this time. Hmm Quote

jdub27 Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 I know that priorities and needs were different, but I drove by NDSU's campus today and after seeing their bubble, I could not be more happy with the decision to build a permanent IPF. 1 Quote

jdub27 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That picture does not do the massive size of that place justice. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That picture does not do the massive size of that place justice. That's 300,000 square feet. For comparison, The Ralph, Alerus Center, and FargoDome range from 400,000 to 500,000 square feet. Quote
Teeder11 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 For a bit of perspective, the tall EERC building to the right of the HPC in the image is just over 70 feet tall. Quote
Smoggy Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Florida putting in a practice facility for $15 million. Looks like it'll be 120 yards with few extra training rooms. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/florida-gators/swamp-things-blog/os-gators-indoor-practice-facility-20150121-post.html Quote

Should be a great tool to lure recruits of different sports. Quote
