I realize that this is not the most active forum here on CC, but I know there’s still a small community here that may care about this development…

[University of Dayton buys former NCR headquarters building - Dayton Business Journal:](http://dayton.bizjournals.com/dayton/stories/2009/12/21/daily1.html)

Anyways, the University of Dayton, continuing to keep up its sterling record of great relations aind investment with the beautiful city of Dayton itself, bought the former headquarters of the City proper’s last Fortune 500 company, NCR, and will turn it into a new campus for the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI). U Dayton is currently ranked “Second Most-Involved University In Its Community” out of the 3,500 colleges and universities in this nation :):):):):)

UDRI alone has already worked wonders in revitalizing the city of Dayton and its business community, spurring growth realted to many technical fields and creating many high-paying jobs in the community. This, coupled with UD’s recent purchase of 50 acres from NCR to the west of campus, giving the university access to the river, will put the university on a path for growth to match its recent popularity and good favor from sources like the Princeton Review and the Fiske Guide.

I don’t know about y’all, but I think that the University of Dayton can really blossom into a high power and prestige institution, much like Elon is currently doing right now. With the completion of a new engineering school, alumni center, more space for math and science classrooms, and nearby housing at rock-bottom prices to expand current student housing, the institution can really grow and gain some power. Already at my school and many others, attending UD is much preferred over attending comprable institutions like Miami of Ohio, and this trend is only growing further.
