UNDBIZ Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 15 minutes ago, moser53 said: The 8 10 12 buildings coming down on campus if I said here I have the cash save them. Would they say great or would they say no the cost of upkeep is to much. The 2 examples you give says nothing about the future of UND. If 700 a year more freshman at SU is the norm from here on out. More buildings will be torn down because nobody will be on UNDs campus. UND the internet school is the future at UND.Per press release. Please link the press release where UND said it won't be serving students on campus in the future. Most of the buildings being torn down are dumpy old apartments. As for the academic buildings, it's likely cheaper to build new than to refurbish several of them. Also, the campus added 325,000 square feet with the new med school and opened up a lot of space in the old med school for consolidating several older buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snazzy is up with architectural glass or something. Reflective or colored glass would do wonders for it, like creating an external statement that there is something wonderful to behold inside.

moser53 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 More opportunity for UND. Doctor shortage by 2030 to be as high as 100,000. Did they build it big enough? Opportunity for others? My wife worked for Neurosurgeon Danial Schmelta at Altru. Great man gave us hockey tickets many times.It takes a lot of dedication to see patients all day then be on call for emergency’s your whole career.

Hopefully this alievates some scheduling issues the teams at the Betty had. Heard of some teams losing valuable practice times during HS tournaments/events at the Betty.

Cratter Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 "Back in my day" UND had so many students some had to start the semester staying in hotels around town until UND had rooms become available. Now I drive by Dakota Hall and it's a decimated, old, overgrown, unoccuplied, piece of property. A reminder of the Universities glory days.

Now, some students and parents insist they won’t live in a tiny dorm rooms and actually have to interact with humans their own age, so they rent luxury apartments off campus. Dakota Hall was a tax write off gift by Happy Harry’s that would have been demolished 40 yrs ago. The land is the value of that gift.

Cratter Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Quote Dakota Hall was formerly operated as the Roadking Inn before it was purchased by the university for $1.2 million through a 2003 donor agreement intended to give the school some additional student housing space.

Sounds like the Richards family doesn't trust the University and what they say they'll do with the money after selling the land: Quote University officials expressed concerns that the university may not be able to restrict the endowment the way it has been requested by the family, as well as making it a permanent fund and sought clarity from the state on the matter.
