• On January 11, the board passed a motion recommended by a working group regarding a new student union building, now referred to as a “student activity complex”. The motion dedicated $27,500 to be allocated from the space expansion fund to finance half of the “architectural fees and materials for initial drawings, models, and supplies” for the new complex. The university will match the other half. There will also be a student activity complex information room to be placed in MBC 2270B.
• Last week, results from the online survey regarding student space were released by the student space working group. The survey, which went out last December, sought to determine what kinds of spaces were important to students. Preliminary results from 686 respondents indicate that individual study space is valued highest.
