Student satisfaction continues to be at the forefront of our strategic plan initiatives. One of the most prevalent issues brought to our attention from the students was the lack of spaces to congregate and “hang out” within our student union. Utilizing what was formerly the campus bookstore, we were able to renovate the 5,000 sqft space into a student lounge. Comprised within the space are 7 different seating areas, 2 large screen TV’s, a shuffleboard table, a café eating area, booths for relaxing or reading, and multiple tables of various sizes to meet the needs of students working on projects. The feedback from the students has been overwhelmingly positive as they have begun to utilize the space.
