(UND Today) – When UND’s new $163 million STEM Complex is complete, its very location by the Columbia Road overpass will be a recruiting tool, said Ryan Adams, dean of the UND College of Engineering & Mines.

“One of the things this will do for Engineering is that it’ll give us a central and prominent location on campus that is easy to get to,” Adams said. Couple that with the building’s state-of-the-art facilities and massive scale, and the result will be UND’s STEM fields drawing more students than ever — the future scientists and engineers that North Dakota needs, Adams said.

Likewise, the proposed Health Professions Collaborative Facility will be attached to the School of Medicine & Health Sciences, itself already a landmark structure farther north on Columbia Road.

But the addition not only will make the facility even more impressive, it’ll also serve as the new home of the UND College of Nursing & Professional Disciplines. That’s huge, said Dr. Marjorie Jenkins, the School of Medicine & Health Sciences’ dean and UND’s vice president for Health Affairs:
