Pretty sure they're planning to use the land between Engineering Hall and Helfaer plus the plot that Helfaer is on to build a new Business school and "Innovation Alley."

This is correct.

They are looking to raise about $50 million for the new business school which is going on this land.

Lemonis School of Business?

Because the are, indeed, embarrassing. Last week in Milwaukee and was informed by some administrators a new rec center opportunity will be built, but not as a replacement to Helfaer

Embarrassing? In my day the "Rec Center" was the old gym, and we could only use it when the team was not practicing. Of course tuition, books, room & board were well within most middle class incomes back then; not so much today.

This project is a huge plus for recruiting the everyday student. Would be great if we could build another one just like it.

Fr. Naus would be very deserving. He was one of the kindest souls I've ever met.

Donate $100 million to MU and it will happen.

So easy to spend other people's money.

Welcome back, MUFINY

You are very fond of the old "Marquette oughta [put extremely expensive project here]".

Time to start putting your money where your mouth is.

Those arguments are the best.  "You can't have an opinion unless you fully fund the project!"

In that case, let me add that Marquette should create an endowment that is big enough to give full scholarships, including room and board, to everyone who enrolls.  That would certainly help with our USNWR ranking.

I agree with this analysis.

Next time someone opines Haanif should work on his right hand or midrange game or Elliott should add some muscle I'll be sure to count on you to set them straight and let them know that they should hit the gym instead and get a scholarship offer from Wojo so those guys don't need a spot on the roster to develop their games.

What are pod-like rooms?

What are pod-like rooms?

Usually it means four or so single bedrooms with a central living area and a bathroom.

Thanks.  Are these style of rooms more par for the course these days, versus than standard double or triples, with a shared bathroom per wing?

My guess is that style of dorm has not been built at a major university in at least a decade.  The trend has been to go upscale in every facet of student amenities - fitness centers, student unions, housing, etc.

At a lot of schools yes.  Or nicer as chick says. You will likely never see a "traditional" residence hall again.

[Galway Eagle]

This whole suite thing is stupid. The best part of dorm life is how crappy and small the rooms are. The best college stories came from McCormick and Schroeder for a reason

I agree with you to a point, but I'm sure many mothers would not.

Nor many students.
