They should renovate the Kibbie Dome and give the ROTC use of the Memorial Gym.

I've heard the competition is between an expansion of the Natural Resources building or a general science laboratory building. First group to find a $10 million donor, wins.

The former Naval ROTC building on the University of Idaho campus is history.

At this moment it is being loaded by track-mounted excavating equipment ( a 
swiveling backhoe on caterpillar treads ) into dump trucks that are hauling it 
away.

Conversation this afternoon revealed that the short-term plans are for green 
space at that location, and building there as money is available. Well, that's 
easy enough about which to speculate.

Indeed, I already have in mind a two-stage project to build from the south 
side of the Forestry Building up to the sidewalk north of what used to be the 
old Chrisman Hall as Phase I. Move all of the faculty out of the Faculty Office 
Center, or Brink Hall, into the completed Phase I, then tear down old hall, 
and build Phase II. Both phases should be multi-story towers whose tops don't 
exceed the Administration building height, still allowing several floors.

Purposes, proposals, and plans may still be speculative for new uses of the 
NROTC building space, but the fact that what replaced a World War II quonset 
hut is now history is not speculation, but fact.
