for nursing scientists and interdisciplinary colleagues in the behavioral sciences. Psychology and nursing will share the building to examine behaviors and their impact on physical and mental health. Researchers will study Alzheimer’s disease, alcoholism, diabetes, nutritional disorders, chronic mental disorders, and more.
At the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Biomedical Research Facility and Neuroscience Research Center, along with extensive renovations, have allowed the school to better support research in such areas as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and much more.
The National Center for Hydrogen Technology at UND’s Energy and Environmental Research Center is leading the effort to develop all aspects of the hydrogen economy, working with commercial partners. They are working to produce hydrogen from fossil and renewable fuels, to help develop the hydrogen “gas station” of the future, and to use hydrogen in combustion engines and turbines. Other additions at the EERC have enabled it to grow and better carry out its mission of developing cleaner, more efficient energy and environmental technology.
The addition of the Alerus Center, a $78 million city-owned facility, has also been an asset to UND. The Hilton Garden Inn, near the Skalicky Tech Incubator, is now used by its parent company as a model for placing hotels near or on other university campuses. And the Ina Mae Rude Entrepreneur Center provides space for emerging businesses as well as student entrepreneurs.
The beloved English Coulee area has also seen changes. The new Hopper-Danley Memorial Chapel, part of a $10 million gift from Roy and Elnora (Hopper) Danley, is used for meditation, prayer, worship, and weddings. The gift also made possible the restoration of the 100-year-old Adelphi Fountain. |
