Wellness Center

airplanerik · August 15th, 2006, 01:58

Does anybody who is still in Grand Forks know if the new wellness center is open yet? If not, are they still planning on opening it this fall?

Snickersnwa · August 15th, 2006, 02:10

I heard that it was going to be open and ready to go in September.

JaceTheAce · August 15th, 2006, 02:17

I can't wait for it to open... from what the plans show, it'll be really nice.

Snickersnwa · August 15th, 2006, 13:24

Is there still going to be a pool there? Someone told me that they took it out of the design...

I heard its not in the current design but they designed it to be an easy add on...but who knows when.

Yeah they decided to move the assigned funds from the wellness center pool project to the increase in administrative salaries. (kidding

.... I am not sure why).

hey how about that nice parking garage to ease the parking issues?

JaceTheAce · August 16th, 2006, 13:24

A 10 story parking garage would be nice - right in front of Gamble hall (where every student at UND seems to flock at 9am).

seriously there are no m**** f***** parking issues. So you have to park at the ralph and walk a few blocks...big freakin deal. Imagine what these complainers would do if they went to a really big campus.

oh trust me i agree, don't forget, i spent a couple of semesters at the University of Texas. parking for 50,000 students + profs + staff.... was quite interesting.

(i also paid 400+ dollars for a pass to park PER SEMESTER.)

damn, that's a little expensive. Just makes me laugh when people complain about having to walk "so far" when I live over by altru and dont even have a car. Its really not that bad, even when its really really cold.

One thing we could really use is a Starbuck's on campus or at least a decent coffee shop. The coffee from Tabula is really bad. Even if we had some coffee stand inside Gamble or the aviation buildings...I think it'd be a profitable business.

I second the vote for some sort of food place in the aviation buildings...

duh. mini-mart (loaf 'n' jug)

no really, we need a food court in our end of campus.

It needs to be like the wings cafe out at the airport as well. I often drive all the way to the airport just to get something to eat since I get tired of the dinning center after about one day of eating there. That and I dont give myself enough time to cook a decent meal in my apartment.

Yeah if they had some sort of pastry, bagel, or sandwich deal going on where you could also purchase sodas and coffee... I really think someone would make a big profit. God knows there is plenty of space in that lobby.

Tom I am gonna have to teach you how to cook. Quick meal for me is throw chicken on the grill, green beans, and garlic bread... takes all of about 20 min

...plus when the chicken is cooking you can sit and relax on the patio with a beer

Costs all of $1 for the whole thing...not including the beer

Yes, how about "The Odegard Pub"? Good place to go right before flights.

Its called the vending machine in Odegard Hall. They have fresh food items. Salads, Sandwiches, fruit, and then your standard carbohydrate junk and bottles of pop.

I'm a little weary getting salad/sandwich/fruit out of a vending machine... Thus, I have never tried anything out of there. I just stick to the standard chips/candybar/soda when I make a visit to the vending machines.

newsflash: something in a vacuum sealed plastic wrapper isnt exactly "fresh"

Good god, no one knows what to call it. I call it pop, but you know why, look at Iowa!

I think soda implies sodium, which is salt. Calling all pop coke like they do in the south is just dumb of course. I guess us midwestern "hicks" are too lazy to call it something besides the obivious in that the bubbles pop in your face or something.

Although both are derived from the word soda pop. So...

I'm gona go strangle myself for knowing that.
