What will be different about a new union?

It is hoped the building would have:

  • comfortable spaces for students to hang out (filled with natural light)
  • improved meeting and event spaces with up-to-date technology
  • collaborative space to bring students together
  • improved restaurants and food options
  • more natural way finding (less like a maze)
  • improved energy efficiency and sustainable/green building features

Any project will address the major maintenance and code issues that exist in the current building. Students will likely see a building that appears mostly new, even though portions may be renovated rather than built new. If the renovation referendum is passed, many of the questions will be answered when we engage with an architect and work collaboratively with students.
