This new building will cost an estimated $48.5 million. It was designed because “a preliminary study has shown that the college will need 120,000 square feet of space for offices, teaching, research, student advising and engagement and other essential functions.”

Looks like two, maybe three (depending if they move the early college away from CRI) new buildings at CRI in addition to the hotel, plus a north entrance.
About time they schedule renovations for the business school. Our b school is about the same size as catawba college b school. And to mention its old as dirt when comparing to any other reasonable university.
Closing the Back Creek Church Road rail crossing should have already happened but better late than never. Will definitely help auto traffic flow that gets ridiculous at rush hour with the nearby NC 49 / I-485 interchange.
And emf is right to ask that question. I can remember a time when I would a go for a run starting at Belk Gym then heading off campus through College Downs over across Old Concord to John Russell, then Back Creek Church to UC Blvd. Those days long gone but thankfully there’s the greenway system, imperfect as it is.
This will be a great addition to campus. Hopefully it is completed by the last home football tailgate or Veterans Day. It’s right next ot the blue lot.
I was in Moore the night we beat ncsu in the ‘76 NIT. That was a hell of a special night of celebration on campus. Probably the first time campus had ever experienced anything like that. I’m sure it was. NINER history right there, mates!
Had some great memories in Moore freshman year. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. I had though awhile back they were refacing and updating but I guess not
That was the original plan but after the first two i think they realized it was a bigger job than originally thought and it was roughly the same cost to tear down and build new.
