lawkota Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I believe UND Foundation's bonds for Phase I should be paid off this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised if the HPC II has already been verbally funded by donors. Just haven't turned it over. And the replacement bldg for Hyslop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 "Source and Availability of Funds (including FF&E): Private funds pending this request for authorization and up to $8,000,000 in funds from the sale of excess property." What is the excess property? The hyslop? Would UND "buy" the space from the athletic department? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see it after a quick search of the obvious threads. Found it because NDSU requested the same fundraising authorization for two IPFs. One small one($2M - 11K sqft) just for softball, and a main one($37.2M - 120K sqft) for most everything else but T&F. NDSU's main field will be much smaller than the HPF(85K sqft vs 195K), but NDSU doesn't need the track since they have a separate indoor facility just for that. Never realized how much the track balloons out an IPF until I did the math. The FB field portion of the HPF only works out to 57,600 sqft. The remaining 135K+ sqft is all for T&F space plus a buffer around the perimeter. Don't know for certain if NDSU's will be a 100yd field like SDSU's or a full 120yd field like UND's, but either is mathematically possible at this point. Id think the NDSU field would be full length and width, at 85K square feet. It will probably end up being a better facility for football only. Our field is not truly 120 yards. We have to put up cones for our end zones in front of the actual "end zone", because the tracks cuts half of it off. Separate tack and football facilities are the way to go. SDSU and UND both have 300ft tracks, but SDSU can probably actually use their end zone. My guess is ndsu gets something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Hall (old hotel dorm that hasn't been used in a while) and at least a portion of the Ray Richards land could both be contributing to that $8 million.

The Sicatoka Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hammer's link: http://ndus.edu/uploads/resources/8832/summary-und-hpc-phase-ii-fundraising.pdf Words that caught my eye: Quote The project will also allow UND to tactically remove an estimated 300,000 gross square feet of existing space, remove an estimated $27,000,000 in existing deferred maintenance and open up a site in the academic core of campus for a new academic building. That reads like a lot of WIN to me: - Finally finish the HPC. - The academic side of UND has long wanted the Hyslop space for a new building. My guess is they want a new STEM building on that dirt. I bet I was first clued in on this concept a decade ago. Plus, it's the perfect spot on the SE corner of campus at the overpass. It'd be another grand arrival point to campus along with the new Med building and Clifford/CAS. - Take $27M of deferred maintenance off the books? Win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess not. But I do recall a conversation about Hyslop long ago with a former AD and how they mentioned that academics covets that dirt and that Athletics would need to find new homes first. http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2018/01/masters-of-planning/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND received approval Wednesday from the State Board of Higher Education at a meeting in Bismarck to privately fundraise $35 million for the second phase of the school's High Performance Center. UND's request included language suggesting a land sale could provide up to $8 million toward the price tag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
