After the opening of the MUB in 1952, the purpose of the area has almost completely changed. The area previously included hotel rooms, a lounge, a quiet room, and a few offices. Since then, there has been an extension on the southern side of the building to accommodate a student bookstore. The hotel rooms have been converted into offices and the lounge and quiet room have been turned into meeting spaces and offices for the student organizations present on campus.
The first floor contains a student bookstore, offices, meeting rooms, and a student organization space. There are four medium sized meeting rooms that are across the hall from the student org area.
The main goal was to provide more space for student organizations as well as to beautify the area in hopes that student will utilize the space as it was originally intended.
The main change is that the hallway on the west side of the building was removed in order to connect the student organization space and two of the existing meeting rooms. Since the meeting rooms were mainly used for student organizations, removing the hallway and connecting the two areas only provides more room for organization.
