Significant Donation to the University of Mary Moves Plan Forward for New 体育运动 Complex

New plans for the 体育运动 Complex revealed 

俾斯麦，和 十大赌博靠谱信誉网站于2015年启动的三阶段2.72亿美元愿景2030资本运动的第二阶段，在2019冠状病毒病大流行造成中断后，已于2022年2月取得了巨大的开端. 第一阶段于2019年1月结束，筹集总额超过1亿美元，超过了目标. Phase II was launched with a $12 million gift from Harold Hamm and Continental Resources, 现在，通过其他人的慷慨捐赠，十大赌博靠谱信誉网站得以继续推进在校园建一个新的体育中心的计划.  

“In early November we received news about a transformative gift which was the answer to many, 许多人祈祷,十大赌博靠谱信誉网站校长詹姆斯·谢伊(James Shea)最近在校园里挤满了人的阿诺·古斯汀大厅(Arno Gustin Hall)面对数百名兴奋的教职员工宣布. 

Shea later went on to add, “我们非常感谢这些捐助者以及十大赌博靠谱信誉网站的许多朋友和捐助者. Their generosity represents an unprecedented investment in our students, in the future of North Dakota, and in the great enterprise of Christian, 天主教, and Benedictine education for a new generation.”

Executive Vice President and Chief of 工作人员 Jerome Richter, who also worked with the 捐助者, says the timing of the gift was Providential. 

“It was a very emotional and humbling moment when I got to share this with our Board of Trustees, because we had just gotten word of the gift moments before our meeting,” Richter explained to the university community during the campus-wide meeting. “God is very good to us. It is very humbling to speak of our successes. There are some wonderful people who believe in us and are excited about what we are doing.”

十大赌博靠谱信誉网站通过“愿景2030战略计划”所做的工作意义重大，不仅有助于实现其创始人——报喜修道院本笃会修女——提出的使命，还能满足本地区及其他地区人民的需求, but also completely transform the campus. 

已经, Phase I brought about a new 276-bed Roers Hall; a fieldhouse and wellness center; the Warford Grotto for students 公众 to honor Mary through prayer; a new state-of-the-art Lumen Vitae University Center — the campus hub; a new Workforce Development Initiative that helps employers in this state attract new workers and provides an opportunity for them to retain and develop their employees; and the start of a new hands-on Hamm School of Engineering.

《十大赌博靠谱信誉网站官网》运动第二阶段的开始有四个支柱，并帮助建立了新的圣吉安娜卫生科学学院，并完成了新的哈姆工程学院. 最后两个支柱包括一个全新的体育中心，就在运动场的东边，与1804号高速公路平行，以及一个南校区的欢迎中心.   

Just over a year ago on November 7, 2022, 作为第二阶段的一部分，十大赌博靠谱信誉网站宣布了一个新的体育中心的计划，将带来足球, 棒球, 足球, and outdoor track competition back to campus for the ultimate student, 粉丝, and scholar-athlete gameday experience. 

Over the course of the next year inflation sent original construction estimates up $18 million, according to Richter. With further consultation and feedback from trustees, 捐助者, 校友, 教练, campaign chairs, 承包商, and Bismarck Parks and 娱乐, 十大赌博靠谱信誉网站在分析了防守后，锻炼了它的敏捷性，做了一场橄榄球比赛中四分卫做的事情. 他们召集了一次会议，开始改变原来的计划，并开始研究一个新的概念，这个概念有更高的投资回报(ROI)，最终使大学能够更好地管理捐赠者托付给他们的辛苦赚来的钱.  

“We came up with the idea that we truly needed a Multipurpose Sports Dome,” Richter explained. “We want to bring outdoor sports back onto our campus because we have 1,400 粉丝s that live right here on campus. And on a Saturday morning they can roll out of bed, or on a Thursday afternoon they can finish class and go watch the games. Imagine Coach Sarah Cook and her 足球 scholar-athletes having a match right here on campus, how much easier it will be for our students to go.”

And that is where the biggest changes to the original plan come in. 而不是像原来的计划那样在南北方向的新足球场上放置一个圆顶, 多功能运动圆顶将位于南端区之外，覆盖一个完整的NCAA规定的足球场，从东到西，还将包括一个NCAA垒球场地的标记，穿过场地的中间，面向南北，作为两项运动的主场.

“Who is going to use this? Everyone,” emphasized Richter. “This is what is so amazing, everyone is going to be able to utilize this: every sports team, 校内的, 公众. We could have rented this out so many times last winter. 我们可以建造多功能运动圆顶，费用与第一方案中棒球场和垒球场的原始设计费用相同. But our Multipurpose Sports Dome will be used six to seven days a week.”

与此同时, 掠夺者棒球队将继续在美丽的俾斯麦市政棒球场举行主场比赛，与棒球队分享. 它已经被认为是北太阳校际会议(NSIC)和地区最好的设施之一，并不断更新和翻新.

 体育综合体将保持不变的是最先进的研究和表演中心(RPC). RPC位于体育场和新体育场之间，在东侧的外部和内部的举重室中为足球迷提供座位, 培训室, 更衣室, offices for football and 足球, and meeting rooms. The upper level will be classrooms for some St. Gianna School of Health Sciences and then transform into suites on gameday.

“这是开始推进建筑测量和土壤钻孔测试的重要一步. How quickly we begin moving is in God’s hands, not our own,” added Richter.

第二阶段的第四个也是最后一个支柱是接待中心，它满足了迫切的需求，为招生提供办公室, 校友, military services, student development, and many others.

“The Welcome Center is an absolute game-changer. We believe in Benedictine hospitality; it is in our blood. But even our architecture must have it and the Welcome Center is going to be that. 从南校区入口将有一条笔直的通道，在那里每个人都可以被接待而不会迷路.”
