Student Union Expansion and Renovation
Student Union Expansion and Renovation Completion Date: September 2006
The two-story expansion includes an interior
courtyard adjoining the existing student union building on the north side of
the facility. The project consists of the renovation of the existing student
union (approximately 61,000 gross square feet) and the building expansion
(approximately 54,000 gross square feet). The project includes an expanded
bookstore, new and expanded food court, expanded student study areas and lounge
space, a multicultural center, game room, sports lounge, additional space for
clubs and organizations, a ballroom, and student program related administrative
offices. This project will start in
January 2005 and will require that the Student close for the entire 20 month
construction period with the exception of the renovated bookstore which will
open in January 2005. Additionally, in
order to expand the loading dock area and build the tunnel to the new portion
of the student union, a segment of the east mall walkway will be closed during
the Spring 2005 semester. This will be a
short-term inconvenience. We will develop signage to redirect the campus
community. Temporary program offices are being set up in
