Moves to 'Research I' building complete
Fargo, N.D., March 20—Several North Dakota State University programs and departments completed their moves to the new "Research I" building in the Research and Technology Park move during spring break. The building's address is 1735 NDSU Research Park Drive.
Included in the move were the executive director of the NDSU Research and Technology Park; Office of the Vice President for Research, Creative Activities and Technology Transfer; Sponsored Programs Administration; the Federal Government Relations program, the offices of the North Dakota Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research; the office of Technology Transfer/Research Foundation; the Institute for Business and Industry Development; the Center for Advanced Technology Transfer and Traineeships; the Department of Polymers and Coatings; and Information Technology Services research computing support staff.
According to Philip Boudjouk, vice president for research, creative activities and technology transfer, the 40,000-square foot building will eventually house about 115 faculty and staff. Among the people moving to the facility will include researchers involved with the initial phases of NDSU's new nanotechnology efforts.
"It was worth the wait—the facility is very, very nice," said Bonnie Neas, assistant vice president for federal government relations/Internet based research. "We have systems worked out where we'll still be very much a part of campus even though we are on the outer edges. We're hoping the processes we are setting up will work for the campus, and still make us feel like an integrated part of the campus."
Neas noted that shuttle bus service runs every 15 minutes from the heart of campus to the new building. "We're open for business," she said.
In a related matter, clients with grant proposals and other grant-related paperwork requiring the signature of an authorized organizational representative should use the Office of Restricted Fund Accounting, 18 Old Main as a receipt and pick-up point for such paperwork.
