BORDERS Alert and Ready will soon be housed in new headquarters on the University campus. UND Research Foundation officials and their contractors are beginning construction in August, 2007 on the $14 million, 50,000-square-foot Center for Life Sciences and Advanced Technologies building thanks in part to a $1.5 million check recently delivered personally by a member of the Bush administration economic team.

The research park is planned as an incubator to commercialize research at UND and as a way to attract companies and jobs to the area to partner with UND researchers and create jobs. Jim Petell, executive director of the foundation, is pleased to announce a new partnership between ProLogic Inc. a medical and information technology company, and BORDERS Alert and Ready. ProLogic has contracts with the U.S. Army to provide small computer tablets to track information on injured soldiers and communicate that information to field hospitals. Vice President Paul Maguire says his company is partnering with BORDERS Alert and Ready to provide emergency preparedness curriculum in the tablets.

ProLogic has contracted with the army to provide the updated tablets by 2008, Maguire said. He said the company also hopes to create tablets for ambulance services and other civilian applications. ProLogic and Borders Alert and Ready will use space in the new research park. The two organizations likely will be among the first tenants in the research park when it's ready for occupancy in March, 2008. The two companies plan to hire a minimum of 10 to 15 new employees.

ProLogic is one of six commercial partners that have committed to occupy space in the new research park. The others are Avianax, NovaDign, Agragen, Alion Inc. and Ideal Aerosmith. Speakers at the formal groundbreaking included U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad, U.S. Rep. Earl Pomeroy, Gov. John Hoeven and UND President Charles Kupchella. A large part of the new center's funding comes from $3.5 million in state Centers of Excellence grant money, paid out to projects that increase research and workforce.
