The old Med School building (formerly St. Michael's Hospital) will be repurposed; it will house new departments. Older buildings (i.e. approaching 100 year old buildings) around campus will be retired. Has anyone contacted the GF fire dept. to get their opinion on how they would handle the aging 100 year old buildings if they caught on fire? 2 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 That whole FFD saying "we'd let it burn" about NDSU's chemistry building to me is a bit of a ruse. Honestly, would any FD send in personnel when they don't know what all is in there that could kill them in the process of fighting the fire? That's why buildings (new or old) have chemical cabinets and fire suppression systems. The only reason I could see any FD going in is if they knew there were civilians in the building that could be saved. Quote

Gives the media something to write about and makes people who don't think about it believe a new $45 million building is a necessity. Quote

GeauxSioux Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 The new dorm would be a non-issue during "normal" times, but these are not normal times. The whole state is being asked to cut budgets. I understand that the funding would come crom a different bag of money, but the optics in this are bad coming the day after the FU prez claims he needs new buildings because his current ones are falling down. It is almost as if he is tone deaf to reality. As said previously, if you have a fire hazard, install fire sprinkler systems. UND has been installing them over the past few years in residence halls.
