ArtStreet Project Description ArtStreet, a learning and living arts center adjacent to the McGinnis Center in the South Student Neighborhood, is scheduled to open in Fall 2004. ArtStreet is envisioned to be a unique residential and learning environment for students of all majors that will serve the entire campus community and surrounding neighborhoods as a focal point for activity. ArtStreet will contain innovative living spaces together with multi-use facilities for the practice, performance, display, discussion, exploration, and contemplation of the arts. An inviting café will serve as a hub for gathering, along with Flyer Radio, a student-run 24/7 operation. This learning-living arts center will be a unique and exciting complement to the academic arts programs (music, theatre, visual arts), larger performance facilities, and exhibition spaces located on the central campus. Made possible through a generous gift from the Kettering Family Fund, ArtStreet gives the University of Dayton the opportunity to design spaces that can put the university at the forefront of universities in exploring ways to create vibrant learning and living communities.

You're pretty close...I'm actually from Mercer County...Celina (Montezuma to be exact). But I know Versailles well. Poultry Days--can it get much better than that? The Ghetto (the South Student Neighborhood to be PC) is definitely still there-I spent way too much time there as a student.  The university is renovating a lot of the houses that are still in good shape and tearing down ones that are not. They are replacing them with duplexes and new houses.

I've been to Montezuma! All I can remember about it was all the nice new homes there on the lake (I think).

(just kidding). Seriously, that part of Ohio actually has some architectural interest due to the concentration of fairly imposing Catholic churches and rural villiages. If I ever get around to getting a digital camera this would be a good place for a photo tour.

You're definitely correct about some interesting architecture with the Catholic churches. What's even more impressive is the number of them. http://grandlake.net/lctc

I used to live on 19 Evanston and 411 Lowes- I assume these places have been torn down for the newer style duplexes I love it when alumni come back to campus and a university official refers to it as the "north student neighborhood" and the "south student neighborhood." Most people are like "What?" Then they're like "Oh, you mean the Ghetto and Darkside." To the students and alumni, it will always be the Ghetto, but I guess the administration wants to be politically correct. 411 Lowes is still there...I think I had some friends that lived there a couple years ago--if not, I atleast went to a few parties there. I think 19 Evanston is still there, but I'm not sure. If it is, I think it is a landlord house, not univeristy owned. 411 Lowes

OMG- that picture is bringing back some hazy memories- 411 still looks like the same dump as I remember 7 yrs ago, and your right 19 Evanston was landlord owned. Thanks for that pic!!

From the 1/19/05 Dayton Business News:Marriott to take root near UD ArenaA four-story hotel co-owned by the University of Dayton will be built soon in the area off Interstate 75 and across from the UD Arena Sports Complex. UD officials said Tuesday the introduction of a Courtyard by Marriott there represents the first hotel development in the city of Dayton since the early 1980s. The hotel will be built on 2.5 acres of land adjacent to the Great Miami River and is the latest addition to UD's multimillion-dollar Sports Complex development that includes five athletic venues for UD sports teams. http://dayton.bizjournals.com/dayton/dailyedition.html#3

An update from the 2/7/05 Dayton Business Journal:Hotel operators wary of new playerCaleb Stephens
DBJ Senior ReporterThe announcement by the University of Dayton of a new hotel near its sports complex has raised the eyebrows of some hotel operators. The Courtyard By Marriott, University of Dayton will be the first new hotel to open in Dayton limits in more than two decades. The Dayton hotel market has been stagnant during the past several years, posting below-average occupancy rates compared with the rest of the country. Hotel operators say adding the new 102-room Courtyard may dilute an already poor Dayton hotel market. http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/stories/2005/02/07/story3.html

WHIO TV is reporting:
* The hotel chain is planning to invest $5 million in the hotel
* In exchange, the city will give Marriott huge tax breaks (possibly 75% for 10 years)
* The Courtyard by Marriott wil be across the street from the UD Arena near the sports complex
* It will be the first new hotel in Dayton in the last 20 years
* The hotel will be 4 stories
* Marriott expects to hire 30 people

“In addition to providing great homes for our sports programs, the Arena Sports Complex improves the University’s ability to continue to host community, regional and national events, such as high school and college tournaments,” said Ted Kissell, vice president and director of athletics. “The hotel will make the Arena Sports Complex an even more attractive site for sporting events in Dayton.”
When the 2008 NCAA tournament is over, UD Arena will have been an NCAA site in 22 of the last 39 years, and will have hosted 74 NCAA tournament games. That will make UD Arena the third-most prolific NCAA tournament venue behind Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City (83) and the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City (81).Although I'm sure money is a big reason behind this project, adding amenities like this will make the arena and other facilites more marketable for big events, like the NCAA, Winterguard International Championships, etc.

PURCHASE OF NCR PROPERTY The University of Dayton today finalized the purchase of a 49-acre parcel of property with buildings from NCR Corp. for $25 million. DAYTON, Ohio -- The University of Dayton today finalized the purchase of a 49-acre parcel of property with buildings from NCR Corp. for $25 million. The property runs from Brown Street to the Great Miami River and will be used to expand UD's campus and spur commercial development by the river. The purchase includes land, two buildings, two parking lots and two practice soccer fields. ''This is an unparalleled opportunity for the University of Dayton that will allow us to grow for decades into the future,'' said Daniel J. Curran, president. ''The property secures a border to the University, gives us the opportunity to create a landmark entrance and will drive regional economic development. This represents a major investment by the University in the community and a revitalization effort that has sparked the imagination of campus, community and political leaders."

"The city of Dayton is very pleased and supportive of the University in this endeavor. The long-term reuse and redevelopment of the NCR property ensure growth and vitality for both UD and the surrounding neighborhoods."
–Jim Dinneen
Dayton City Manager
''We are pleased to be a partner with the University of Dayton to assist in the development of this area, which will strengthen Dayton's tax base, boost economic development and create jobs for Montgomery County citizens. The University of Dayton and the NCR Corp. both have long histories with the city of Dayton and Montgomery County. The commissioners are proud they are once again working together to reach mutual goals. The sale to UD continues to represent our region's commitment to innovation."
–Montgomery County Commissioners
"On behalf of the board of trustees, I want to recognize how important the purchase of the NCR property is to the future growth of UD. Needless to say, this transaction is a significant commitment of University resources, but the trustees have worked diligently with the administration and expert consultants to ensure the purchase of this property is in the best interest of UD and its community partners."
–R. Daniel Sadlier
Chair, University of Dayton Board of Trustees
President and CEO of Fifth Third Bank of Western Ohio
''I feel tremendously proud to represent our alumni and be a part of this landmark decision. It is an amazing, brave step into the future, much like the one the Marianist brothers took when they founded UD. This is a step that will literally transform the UD experience for students, faculty, staff, alumni as well as the entire community. I think it sends the message that the University of Dayton is a national leader in Catholic higher education with a plan to move boldly into the future.

President of the National Alumni Association
Member, University of Dayton Board of Trustees
Vice President of Marketing and Development, Children's Medical Center

By Mark Fisher and Scott Elliott
Dayton Daily News
DAYTON | Neighborhood groups around the University of Dayton on Tuesday hailed the school's purchase of 49 acres of NCR Corp. property as a potential boon to revitalization efforts.
"We're thrilled with the news," said Historic South Park Inc. neighborhood association President Karin Manovich. "UD is a very good neighbor, and has been responsible for much of the revitalization along the Brown Street corridor. We see this development as strengthening the university and improving the retail options for neighborhood residents."

That was a smart move by UD. They had to do it. How often does that much land become available in a built out city, let alone next to a large, land-locked campus.
