Looks like by 2008 or so the new Business building will be completed if all goes as planned. Funding is available now.

There's another article in today's daily that mentions the two new dorms have begun construction. That would be the Honors Dorm and (liberty?)

I don't like how they said that the building won't look like any other on campus. Why can't they make it similar? I know all buildings aren't the same, but they have the same general look. It's great to be getting a new building, but I don't know about the looks.

"This building will be unlike any other on campus," Escalante said. "It will be state-of- the-art."

I don't think they said it will look different than the other buildings, just that it will be state of the art. Hopefully that doesn't mean it will look like a geodesic dome

I'll reserve judgement until I actually see design plans.

our campus is already a walk through the architectual whims of the last century, why not add another odd fitting piece.

Big Red Box with few windows...Build It!

Mothras Cocoon...Heck Yes!

Cant wait to see what todays building trends bring us in the new Business Building.

It will be very dangerous to put a bad looking building in that area. That area (site of current wellness building, right?) will be right next to some classic buildings like Chilton hall. Would look horrendous in anything but classic university architecture. I hope they realize this, but I'm not holding out hope.

But I'm still amazed by the continuing amount of construction now going on at UNT. Let's recap:

~20Million new Dorm - under construction (Honors)

~16Million new Dorm - under construction (Liberty?)

~25Million new health center - under construction

~50Million new Business building (construction to begin around 2007/08)

.. New chemistry building.. Potentially in next couple years

Am I missing anything? That is over 100 million in construction. Pretty amazing.

It's hard to think of the old Business building that I spent so many hours in being used for something else. But building a "state of the art" business building is good for the university in the long run.

If only they can figure out how to get the business students actually caring about their university.

      2007-2010 I miss Hooyahs close to campus. Those big ass burritos were great. Crooked crust, Roosters, and Denton Co Hamburgers were my go to places.

      Parking

      We were later than usual. We usually like to arrive 2 hours before kickoff, but we didn't arrive at the NT Blvd exit until 30 minutes before kickoff. If not for the Hub Club entrance, we would have missed the first quarter, too. The Northbound I35E North Texas Blvd exit is a poorly managed part that must be resolved. UNT should have made 100 plastic yard signs that say "Blue Lot for Pass Holders ONLY. No Passes for Sale" and stick 50 of them 5-10 feet apart down the left and right sides of the access road between the NT Blvd offramp and NT Blvd. For every five cars that turned left across the bridge and pulled up to turn into the south blue lot entrance, one went through. After half-time, someone can pull the hypothetical signs out of the ground and save them for the next game. One digital road sign was posted, but it didn't mention the Blue Lot needing already purchased passes. The message it did have about the Orange Lot was contrived and difficult to decipher. I didn't know the Brown Lot existed till this past weekend. It's an easily accessible lot rarely used on most game days. To be candid, I spend too much money as it is to get my complementary Blue Lot pass (I think if MGSF correctly accounted for my Basketball contributions, I should probably have a Black Lot pass). If they oversold the Blue Lot and I could not find a spot, I'd be very frustrated. The many open spots probably also have something to do with a lot of people parking in the gravel/mulch RV spots. I guess there are just not that many people who want to pony up more money than 2 Hub Club tix cost to park an RV. Regarding exiting, the Denton/UNT Police at one point had enough cones to keep you from leaving the southern Blue lot entrance and cutting across the southbound access road traffic to try to get on the Southbound I35E entrance at NT Blvd. They should start doing that again. Yes, I will have to go through the light at McCormick (I think that's the next street) and get on one entrance ramp further, but it will keep traffic moving better. I hate to say it, but we won't have any of these issues again this season, even with a win this weekend at UTSA.
