Drove Through Campus Saturday

Stan R · February 27, 2007

What is the building being constructed right behind the Student Recreation center? It is very large, looks like a dorm - anyone know? I saw the two new dorm shells (honors and the other one) are completely up and make the area look completely different now. Just need brick and interior buildout now.

I'm assuming you drove past the new Health & Wellness Center, it's been open for a month or so but construction still isn't 100% complete.

Yes, forgot to mention that - it looks fantastic as well, more traditional collegiate apperance as opposed to some of the monolitic buildings (willis library).

The building under construction just to the north of the rec center is another residence hall.

It will replace College Inn.

its not going to replace college inn.... that wouldnt be smart. Its Legends Hall, a new upperclassmen dorm

Oh yeah, my bad..I forgot they were putting another dorm behind the Rec Center. Why would replacing College Inn be a bad idea? That place is a DUMP!!!

AJR2010OX · February 28, 2007

cause we already have a housing shortage as is, and dumping college inn would not be smart unless we're constructing more dorms, which I have yet to see (besides Honors and Legends).

Are you serious? Since I have been there they have constructed at least 5 new dorms. The college inn is a dump and should be demolished.

Who cares?? It's college, we aren't suppose to live in a 5-star hotel. Housing is housing and we need all we can get. At least it's near the back of campus and not very visible.

Hey! I have A LOT of wonderful memories from College Inn.

College Inn is suppose to be an upperclassmen dorm as well ... coincidence?

In the grand scheme of things, College Inn's years are numbered; sinking foundation and all.

use the tcu stated model and build plenty of dorm space and try to build it all, including parking garages, as much in the CENTRAL CAMPUS as possible. We've got to build this place as a CAMPUS to get as much of the college experience as possible. This will help us build better college memories & college pride.

College Inn will be gone soon enough but right now it is a cash cow b/c it is already paid off. I believe Maple is also very close to being paid off. Besides for more dorm space if D..Rick Perry has his way McConnell will be able to house students next year.

The last time I looked through the UNT Masterplan, the new dorm would be built next to College Inn. Once complete, College Inn would be demolished and either the other half of the new dorm built or parking put in it's spot.

Oh please let it be parking!

I have many memories from college inn. As do many others, and I think it will be a sad day when that place is torn down. I always loved bringing friends and family to campus to show them all the dorms, and then bring them to "the college in."
