What don't you like about the walkways? The one from the new college of business to merrifield looks pretty good imo. However, I think that new Merrifield entrance is Akin to someone polishing an antique coin... kinda worried it will destroy the character and aesthetics of one of the most photographed and iconic buildings on campus.

The Sicatoka Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Skyways/walkways are needed as a student recruitment tool. Potential student: "North Dakota? It's cold!" Recruiter: "Our campus is skyway connected. You never walk outside between buildings." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FSSD Posted December 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2021 If you have not been to campus in the last 2 or 3 years - you are missing out. The campus has changed dramatically for the better and it looks like more changes in the next couple of years. Easily the best campus in the Dakotas. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the steam pipe system to heat buildings, sure. Between buildings in the Walsh Complex, yep. Pseudo-tunnels to get around the Wilkerson Complex. But between main academic buildings? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the horror stories about the Football offices. This would be a nice addition for the UND football team. Quote Other large projects in the works include the new Memorial Village, and an addition to the west side of the Fritz Pollard Athletic Center, which Pieper said could begin soon. The former is set to be a five-level structure at the site of the Memorial Stadium that housed UND football. The top four floors will be private apartments, and the first floor will be leased by UND from the UND Foundation for athletic offices. A planned addition to the Pollard Center would finish off the building by adding a weight room and locker rooms, as well as other auxiliary spaces — amenities which were not included in the original design due to funding constraints. The overall design, Pieper said, is to create a “wet space” in the Pollard Center, with the “dry space” being in the Memorial Village building.

forksandspoons Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The Pollard Center Phase 2, Memorial Village, new business school, new union, new dorms and the many other new buildings should boost recruiting in nearly every sport. It would be nice if the university promoted all of these things a bit more via social media, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of his vision to put softball on campus directly north of Pollard, between University Avenue and 2nd Ave N. on the east half of current parking lot.

The Sicatoka Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 So, a rumor of softball on campus, east of Nut Lab, between University and the Pollard Center. Whodathunk it. ... (see page 3 of 25). I've like the idea since I first saw that plan in ... August of 2018. It will make a nice entrance to campus when westbound on University. PS - If Chaves is floating building the softball field it's probably a "tell" that they have what they need (or are right there) for Phase II at Pollard. That would make sense given the recent GFH article about construction starting this summer on Memorial Village and ... Phase II. Seems someone's doing fundraising. PPS - Page 3 of 25 ... I still say they have a plan for a future parking ramp on the east end of the bridge to nowhere (dead north of old Memorial field). That'd be awesome if you lived in Memorial Village ... covered parking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
