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.

      The Band

      I think the band is fantastic. The show was amazing this year, the band was loud in the stands and I thought the pregame was fantastic. I wonder how many complaining have donated to the Brigade or contributed to the program. The drum line is clean, the horns are loud. There were some coordination issues with the press box/dj’s this year, but I know the time these kids put into band. It’s massive. I’m a proud alumni of the Green Brigade, and I’m proud of how the band represents us old-timers today. Thank you, Green Brigade, for supporting the team and your school, and for the dedication you show week in and week out.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I stopped when I could give tickets away to people who live in Denton and like football. After the new smell wore off Apogee (DATCU) it was impossible to give 3 tickets out of set of 4 away. Then I would have to drag one of my sons kicking and screaming to fill one of my 2 season ticket seats. Now I buy week of the game. In 2025 I probably won't even do that. Just very sad. Leadership doesn't care to win just participate. When and if Clemson breaks free of AAC we will end up in something more FCS than FBS. And I am not sure how they will pay the bills with that reduced revenue. 😥

      UNT vs Temple In Game Discussion****

      Okay how about all the grumpy fans that donate and go to games just stop complaining take their money and time and support something else? By my calculations about 5-10k undergrads are giving the players the 🖕🏾 disguised as empty seats at games. To the eye roller reaction: what do you suggest? Have you ended up wasting season tickets money because you couldn't drag any of your friends or family to a game on a GOOD WEATHER Saturday? Genuinely curious.
