New Student Center almost done, new dorm about to start work across from Harrison, ERIC starts later this year.....Excited about the future of T..... Chancellor Martin had a forum about a week ago where he addressed several concerns and goals for our future. Managing our enrollment growth was definitely a major point. It was said that construction could begin by the end of the year with a target Spring 2020 completion One of the students currently running for SGA Prez took some notes and you can see the rest on twitter by searching for #NCATForum I expect there to be some designs in the April BOT notes so if I see them, I'll post here as well

I think he means those old houses across from Harrison and the Oaks.

I've heard we've got some new signs on the yard. If I understand correctly, they have replaced one/some of the old A&T main signs. Can anyone else verify or refute this? Ehh .. I’m not sure how I feel about it http://instagr.am/p/Bgl8PS_hA2d The signage would look 100% better if there was some green grass around it! Lol

thanks, kidheartless! yeah, looks like they're targeting the other side of blueford street for the new dorm. and the new engineering building is gonna be a "monster"! i luv it! i also see that the new convocation center is still on the books and its been appropriated, that kinda surprised me. and there's an "expansion" planned for frazier hall, its "sorely" needed, but needed sooner...

I really wish A&T could partner with a developer or had the resources to just redevelop East Market street from Murrow Blvd to N O'henry/US 29...Imagine coming to campus from downtown or off 29 to see ground level retail such as restaurants, shops, Fedex/Kinkos location for the students, maybe even a grocery store with apartments, office space and university owned housing on top...I know it a pipe dream, but dammit we're A&T we can do anything right? (lol)

A mixed use/dorm building definitely SHOULD be in the works

(lol) As the university gets larger they are going to have no choice but to look at the area as a target for development. I think that will also lead to a safer community and richer academic environment for the students. I think the university should have a target of having 60%-70% of undergraduates living within walking distance of the campus. I think this will also improve graduation rates if students reside closer to campus.

A mixed use/dorm building definitely SHOULD be in the works This is what I was thinking that way you kill 2 birds with one store. Lower Levels could serve as class room/office/retail space or either a parking garage with upper levels housing students. This IMO would make better use of space. It might also be time to start building upward (towers) to better maximize campus space.

Realistically, We could pay off the House of Prayer for the old post office land and develop that as a mixed-use development. They also could buyout those strip malls across from Buford and Dowdy and build onto the land behind the student housing on Benbow Rd.

I like the sign. They should color in the logo.
