Dolve Hall is an architectural treasure and must be preserved at all costs!!!
I don't know if there are any older architecture graduates here (I am most certainly not a graduate at all) but I have a ton of architecture friends from my days as a volunteer historic preservationist. Anyway, they had class or drawing stuff or whatever in those QUONSET huts. I kid you not. It would be freezing in winter, hot in summer, putting on sweaters, pulling off, etc. But dang, the architects I knew turned out fabulous. The Renaissance Hall Arch Dept as well as Klai Landscape are so beautiful. Night and day. Call me crazy but did they keep one of those Quonset huts as a keepsake reminder or something?
I'm told that I lived in one of those quonsets back in the mid fifties. They were married student housing back then. I wasn't married at the time but I was related to a student who was.

Glad to hear NDSU raised the funds to get the State grant (25% NDSU / 75% State).
It was getting late to hit the number to get the State dollars.
The UFO* has got to go, and many labs need updates (if not for facilities, for safety).
And this will force Xcel to update their infrastructure so they don't have another on-campus transformer leak (and the ensuing remediation).
*The circular building was introduced to me as "the UFO" ... partly because of its shape, partly as an abbreviation for "ugly freakin' officebuilding".
Bumping this up for the announcement.
