UND Fan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 In the long run, the cost of maintaining these buildings so they don't become eyesores or dangerous greatly exceeds the cost of tearing them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Suspect a new business school will be announced later. This is just clearing the way for a grander University Avenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answers to all of your questions are in the article you linked to. Quote ... an ongoing effort to cut back the university's footprint while knocking down deferred maintenance costs. This will actually save money. Why? These are non-producing, net-negative assets. They cost to operating and maintain but are no longer useful. Taxpayers should be applauding this move.

The Sicatoka Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The buildings scheduled for demolition this summer (per Herald article) are: 314 CambridgeStrinden Center2912 University Avenue317 CambridgeEra Bell Thompson CenterInternational CenterWomen's Center Chandler Hall, which was built in pieces and contains the oldest structure on the UND campus, is the last building scheduled for demolition and is expected to be taken down next summer. I see those structures and between age, type, occupancy, and the 1997 flood, the buildings can not be in a good way. Clean them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
