The library is a great example of a successful remodel. I'd say the majority of them that were still structurally sound. The library was "remodeled" not "demolished" so I don't see your argument there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more along the lines if if they were to add a second floor to the gymnasium area of Hyslop to make it classroom and office space. The exterior walls would have natural light, the interior offices wouldn't unless they made the center into an atrium or courtyard space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The campus is almost unrecognizable for those who don't live in the area. Other universities renovate, UND demolishes. Isn't it about time UND tears down the Chester Fritz Auditorium? The Sigma Chi House. We tried to get it on the National Registry but they didn’t have a category for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd' say the Beck/Walsh/Squires dorms to begin with, Dorms are easy to renovate. There were some buildings the block or two to the east, I don't remember the names but I remember I took Comp I in one of them. They went down a few years ago. I haven't kept up with everything that's been torn down since I don't live in the area, but UND's procedure for renovation is to demolish and rebuild rather than renovate existing buildings. In 50 years these buildings will be trashed and it'll start all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that house coming down? That's a frat house that I can't see needing to be replaced. Hell the Sigma Nu house burned to the exterior walls and they stabbed a guy to death in it and they rebuilt back to original with a fire suppression system. But to be fair, the frat houses aren't university owned property. Is the SAE house still standing? That was a fun rush house, back when wet rush was allowed... $5 for an admission card good for the whole week of drinking at any house. Nothing like attending UND back in the 80's. I always thought it was funny that Sigma Nu at UND was the ultra-douchy preppy fraternity on campus (with Sigma Chi a very close second) and SAE was the Animal House fraternity whereas at NDSU it was just the opposite. I knew Sigma Nu'ers who wouldn't even acknowledge their brothers at NDSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I do wish that there was a way to keep the venue portion of Hyslop. I have many fond memories of that place. I watched many great basketball games there, including the days of Phil Jackson. Running the UND indoor track meets. Shrine Circus. I also remember going to a Boy/Cub Scout event there when they had the just had the dirt floors. There was a teepee in there with a small open fire and they were making pancakes. Not sure how they got away with that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god. One of the worst design decision I've ever seen (imo)... I used to study there because it had a bit of that classic old money university feel to it. Legitimately pisses me off that the design, furniture, and vibe are the same as the rest of the library (cheap/modern/basic). Harry Potter is a great example, as you mentioned.. A library like that is something that I would expect to see at any old big time school. Would have loved to see the glass replaced with open balconies as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they got away with that. I agree and think they should have kept the venue portion. How much would it cost in todays dollars to build the shell of that building and the cement seating? Had they decided to keep it, money that will soon need to be spent on building additional practice courts at the betty could have instead have been spent on a renovation (and an addition at the Betty wouldn't be needed. A smaller version of something like this would have been perfect, long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
