Change is Coming

A lot has been happening with the Davies Building Project since the last post – I’ll catch you up.

The Davies Building Committee (which is comprised of students, faculty, and staff) has visited five different campuses to get an idea of what their student centers have to offer. I’ve included some pictures below, but here are some main thoughts they left the tours with:
-Utilize as much natural light as possible – big windows, skylights, etc.
-Focus on being Green – sustainability is a key area of attention
-All decisions should be student centered
-Improve facilities for student senate/student organizations




Also, a couple weeks ago the Burt-Hill team came to campus for a series of workshops. There were opportunities for students to see a presentation about the building and give feedback and ask questions. Other workshops were geared toward specific user groups in the building.

Stay tuned for future blog posts which should be coming on a weekly to bi-weekly basis!
