Future Campus Framework Discussion

[TexanMark]

Wonder what the motivation is for SU to acquire that building, beyond it already basically being part of their campus?

Location, Location, Location.

Only so much land up on the Hill.

Obviously we can speculate that SU might bring back a medical program down the road.

 

[FasterCuse]

It would be smart of SU to launch a medical program. Obviously, it would take time, but it's a great way to build the endowment with future high net worth donors.

Wasn't there some talk just before the pandemic of SU/VA starting a medical school for VA hospitals, Indian health programs, etc.?

Whether there was or not, that sounds like a good idea.

SU Explores new Medical School

"SU's commitment to veterans dates back to the 1940s when it opened its doors to World War II veterans pursuing college education with financial support from the federal GI Bill. By 1947, SU's veteran enrollment was larger than any other school in the state and among the largest nationwide...

The article says it's a Popeye's, but I wish it was a Bojangles so I could watch the incessant TV commercials on the ACC Network and actually know what it's about.

Wasn't a big Acropolis fan but sad to see a local place close for another chain restaurant

They need to buy and tear down that strip of old crappy buildings on Marshall. I think Dave Jacobs own two of them.

Wasn't that going to happen with the Varsity at one point?

The building housing the Varsity has been better maintained. But just the economics of the neighborhood indicate that something bigger and taller will use that real estate eventually.

Gotcha, and I agree it would be nice to tear down those old buildings and rebuild

It wasn't a place to go every night but best greasy slice you could get on campus and change of pace from other options. Hate seeing a chain go on. Plus it just was a staple on Marshall. Feel like Marshall becomes less and less familiar every year.

Ahh the Red Barn...very underrated for cheap food

I think in Syracuse, Carrols and Red Barn were the dominant fast food chains through the 1970s. There were a few McDonalds and a few Burger Kings but i think Carrols and Red Barn dominated.

The first business I remember that occupied the space where Acropolis is now was Carrols. I think when they closed down, Red Barn took it over. That happened to many Carrols locations in CNY.
