No, Augsburg is not opening a research facility for the Centers for Disease Control.

The Center for Democracy and Citizenship has two locations: one in the Baker Community Center on St. Paul’s West Side, and the other in the ADC Business Center on the corner of Riverside and 20th Avenues.

Wow! I wish I could say that 3 days in everything has been perfect but unfortunately we just experienced an earthquake, a whopping 7.4. I was sitting up in my room on the 7th floor as the building started to shake and the walls cracked. I ran out into the hall and the program director was staying in the room right next to me and we took shelter in a doorway of the hall until it was over and then we ran down the stairwell, there was some girl flopping down the stairs in stiletto heels that I really wanted to run over so I could go faster. There was no major damage at the hotel or anywhere else, or at least it hasn’t been reported yet.
