Pretty sweet!! https://campus.und.edu/facilities-management/_files/docs/und-athletics-masterplan-0823.pdf Very nice but also very out of date. Quote

All other parts of what used to be HPC phase 2 are still in fundraising mode, with funds hoped to be raised by the fall of 2023 and construction sometime after. Quote

In regards to why the city probably tore it down...Carnegies are a lot of work to upkeep and there is not a ton of modernization that you are allowed to do to them. Valley City and Dickinson have jumped through a ton of hoops to get what they have in them and both have pretty much tapped out what they are going to be allowed to do in them.

A. There are some online resources that will only give libraries permission for them to be used in-house. So, we can't let patrons use them from their house. B. Younger generations like them as a place where they can go to study, work, find books, etc and their kids can get books at the same time. C. Makerspaces for teens and adults are huge. D. Homeless and the less financially secure love the library because they can find information on jobs, etc for free. E. Community Hubs. There are quite a few libraries that are hiring social workers and/or working with other community entities to provide services in a central location. Yes, I could go on for awhile.. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 24, 2021 Author Posted March 24, 2021 Pondering ... The HPC will connect to Memorial Village via the HAWKway. One drawing in the docs filed with the city showed a future skyway from Memorial Village to the existing skyway tower. Once you're in the ramp, does that connect (sheltered, meaning at least a roof) to Swanson or the new Union? And what will the new Union have sheltered connections to? Quote

Once a skywalk is built over 2nd Ave N to connect to the Hawkway, a person would be able to walk totally under cover from the the new Memorial Union to the existing HPC (Pollard Center). I don’t believe that the new law school addition (from a few years ago) was built with a connecting skyway in mind to connector to what is now the new union. That said there will be a skywalk connecting the new Nistler building and the Chester Fritz Library, with future plans to connect Nistler to Merrifield and Merrified to a renovated Twamley. 3 Quote

I would love to have one I thought they were going to repurpose them for the tunnel that will connect the new building to the HPC/Pollard Center. If that's the case, maybe they salvage the ones that can be repurposed and eventually sell the ones they don't or can't use? Quote

Those dorms have badly needed to be remodeled. I lived in Noren my freshman year (the first year it was co-ed) and then Selke. Glad to finally see that there is a plan to do so if it gets approved.

Myhra was a character and nice guy. I never would had thought of naming a building after him. I had the privilege of sitting next to Fritz Pollard at a UND alumni dinner one night. Great guy who had tremendous respect for UND and especially Jack West his former coach. He told some great stories of being a black multi sport athlete at UND as well as his Olympic experience in pre-war Nazi Germany. He was one of the best student athletes in UND history. He also has a very successful post grad career serving our country. He was a credit to his family, the University of North Dakota and our nation. I believe it is a privilege for UND to have his name on the building. It would have been great if more UND student athletes and students could have met him. 2 7 Quote
