...

 

The appropriations bill also includes $100,000 to help the University of Dayton with infrastructure and engineering improvements for 50 acres of former NCR Corp. land the school owns at Brown and Stewart streets. Turner said the effort is an attempt to make the land commercially viable for development and institutional use. This is in addition to $1 million UD received earlier this year for this project.

Preservationists fight demolition of Building 26

Building housed WWII code-breaking between 1943 and 1945

By Jim DeBrosse

Dayton Daily News

 

DAYTON | Like its own enciphered message, what's left of NCR's Building 26 lies hidden beneath a layer of steel-and-glass additions that bear no resemblance to the original art deco structure.

 

State preservationists say the additions must be stripped away to determine if the building where Dayton codebreakers helped change the course of World War II warrants historical protection against current plans to tear it down.

UD RecPlex draws robust crowd

 

The University of Dayton's new $25.3 million recreation center opened this week and already is attracting students in droves.

 

The RecPlex, whose opening was celebrated Friday with a public dedication, attracted more than 2,000 students when it opened Wednesday. That's one-third more than the average number of students who attended UD's Physical Activities Center, which opened in 1976 and closed last month, said Teri Rizvi, spokeswoman for the university.

UD delays plans for garage

Objections from Oakwood, campus plan among factors for respite

UD's Student Volunteer Rescue Squad wants to have a garage built to house its ambulance. Dayton's Board of Zoning Appeals approved plans last week that would have the new garage's driveway connect with Irving Avenue.

Work begins on new Master Plan 

Dana Kulchawik

A&E Editor

 

Whether you’re a freshman or a senior, construction on campus has been both widespread and grand. Campus saw many new additions including Marianist Hall, Science Center connector, The Hanger, Arena Sports Complex, and the completion of the RecPlex, to name a few.

 

Just when you thought the possibilities for further expansion and growth of the campus were exhausted, a new master plan is in the works by UD’s campus planning team.

However, rough ideas have begun circulating which prioritize what needs to be done to improve campus.

My Opinion

Unorthodox way to redevelop

David Bohardt

 

The University of Dayton's recent purchase of prime real estate from NCR Corp. is a development that should be watched closely by the entire business community.

 

Assuming that redevelopment of this acreage between Main and Brown streets is integrated with a long-overdue plan for redevelopment of the site now occupied by the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, the entire project could total millions in high-end, mixed-use development.

 

http://dayton.bizjournals.com/dayton/stories/2006/01/30/newscolumn2.html

 

While Mr. Bohardt certainly makes some interesting points, I'm not sure what to think of it.  I agree with his point that it is premature to say this will kill the CBD.  Are there really that many companies that want to get out of downtown?   And if these companies are really that eager to move out of the CBD, won't they just end up in the south or east suburbs if there aren't any viable alternative within the city?  Now don't get me wrong, I want a healthy CBD and don't want these companies to leave downtown.  But if I had to choose between them moving to the suburbs or South Main Street, I'd much rather have them located within the city limits on the former NCR and fairgrounds properties.  And I think it is a stretch for people to be considering as far south as Stewart Street part of downtown, but I guess it could be a possibility if companies start trying to do it to "justify" a move.  Let's just hope that most of the jobs are new to the area  :)

 

Also, he did get somthing wrong--or at least wasn't clear about it. The property between Brown and Main Streets is slated for campus expansion/academic development (However, I have heard a few things lately about possible business/retail development at the corner of Brown and Stewart Streets), while the property between Main and Patterson is what is being proposed for business and mixed-use development (current early plans call for UD to maintain ownership of building and property and lease them to businesses).  UD President Dr. Curran has made some sort of comment about a large retailer being interested in the property (rumored to be Kroger), but he said that is not the type of development they are interested in brining to the property (good to hear).

 

I was going to guess that the western part (the part of business/mixed use development) of the property was going to be similar to the Governor's Place development in Kettering.  They are talking more of also including housing, so I guess I don't really know what to expect now.  I just hope that Miller-Valentine doesn't get involved in this project.

If anything, this will attract new people to the city.  So what the hell...this actually might be good for downtown.

UD to update plan for campus

Dayton Business Journal - 11:55 AM EDT Monday

 

The University of Dayton has selected the international architecture and design firm Burt Hill to complete a new master plan for the campus that will include a vision for the 49 acres purchased last year from NCR Corp., UD announced Monday.

 

The planning process should take about a year, said Michael Reagan, Burn Hill principal who will be leading the Dayton project. The process will include talking with the campus community as well as with the city of Dayton, Montgomery County, city of Oakwood, NCR, Miami Valley Hospital and other surrounding organizations.

Group trying to save NCR's historic Building 26

By Jim DeBrosse

Staff Writer

 

DAYTON | A group of Dayton-area business leaders and preservationists are holding a public meeting Wednesday to get out the secret about Building 26 in what may be a last-ditch effort to save the historic structure.

 

Many Miami Valley residents still don't realize that, hidden under the glass-and-panel office box at Stewart Street and South Patterson Boulevard, is the art deco building where U.S. Navy and NCR personnel designed and built codebreaking machines that helped shorten World War II, said Jerry Hauer, owner of Hauer Music Co. and member of Preservation Dayton Inc..

Too little of Building 26 left to save, some say; preservation efforts build

A difference of opinion exists about whether the building on old NCR land is worth saving.

By Jim DeBrosse

Staff Writer

 

DAYTON | Is enough left of the original Building 26, where NCR engineer Joe Desch and a cadre of top-secret personnel altered the course of World War II, to make it worth preserving?

 

"No," say University of Dayton officials, who purchased the building along with 49 acres of NCR land last year. They have $1 million from the state to demolish the building — both the art deco structure and the "office box" additions that have hidden it since the 1970s.

Campus South was the recipient of many changes over the past few months, aimed at improving both the condition and the atmosphere of this 37-year-old building. These changes included a new roof, fresh air intake vents (fans that blow fresh air into the building to equalize pressure), painting all hallways and apartments, and repairing holes in the walls

UD closer to building on NCR land 

Jennie Szink

Chief Staff Writer

 

UD is one step closer to building on the newly acquired 50 acres of NCR land after applying to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to grant an urban setting designation.

 

The urban setting designation is a provision in the Ohio Voluntary Action Program, which is instrumental in brownfield sites and old industrial sites reused for new building. The designation ensures that groundwater on any building site will not be used as drinking water or contaminating other drinking water sources. UD hired an environmental firm, Hull and Associates, that specializes in brownfield projects to help them access the site.

The University will play host to the Dayton City Commission meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31, in College Park Center. The city will accept a $125,000 contribution each from UD and Miami Valley Hospital to implement a traffic plan to improve traffic movement in the Fairgrounds neighborhood and on Brown Street.

Just a couple of little things going on along Brown Street...

 

Although I don't think there has been any official announcement, it looks like UD is going to be opening a gift shop in the University Place development along Brown Street....  http://www.nameudstore.com/   So far, this and Arby's have committed to University Place.

 

And the University of Dayton Residential Properties department will be moving to the College Park Center (old NCR building), so that should free up their building on Brown Street (between the University Shoppes and the Second Time Around building) for possible commercial development.

Kinkos once occupied the Starbucks there just north of the development. I'm not sure if that means a new Kinkos or the original one returning from downtown, if true.

This topic was split from the Random Dayton thread.

 

I believe I got all of the posts, but if there's one I missed please let me know.

 

Here are the links for the partials, which couldn't be used.  I don't believe that any contain any information that's not somewhere in this thread.
