UND will be selling a hotel that it purchased and converted to overflow student housing.
It’s called “Dakota Hall.” But at one time it was the Road King Inn.
"It was acquired at the peak of residence hall occupnacies," University System director of Facilities Planning Rick Tonder told the Board of Higher Education's Budget and Finance Committee. "Now they no longer need the facility."
Tonder said UND wants to market it and sell it.
Before it is sold, it will have to be appraised.
Members of the State Board of Higher Education’s Budget and Finance Committee asked if there would be a market for the facility.
"We've probably fielded about a dozen calls, from commercial developers and landlords," UND's Mike Pieper told the committee.
The facility was used as a dormitory through the 2007-2008 school year – and since that time has hosted a number of UND departments.
