i never heard of the south campus thing. is that all the stuff going on across from campus like that red cross bldg? if so, what do we get out of it? more revenues? what we really need are some decent facilities for sports. i like to swim and the pool is never open. and workout facilities should be FREE to students like at SLO. have you seen their stuff? wow...great pool and what a rec center...can you help us with that? |
Yes, the office hour policy was a great victory for students. I believe that it showed the university once again that as students all of us are paying attention and we will not allow something detrimental to happen to students.
For the South Campus Master Plan, the week of the 30 May, students will be invited by the university to come see the 3 different concepts that will be put up for discussion.
Of those three there will be some variant of a 5000 seat basketball arena, a new recreational facility, i believe but not sure olympic size pool, and utility court areas. One of the biggest areas that is good for students is office space. Our goal would be to have the areas such as Wellness Center, or other areas that we can move there and have additional club/council space in the Bronco student Center.
The building itself will actualy be where the current Kellogg gym and Darlene May gym are now. All of that area would be revamped for the new structure.
For what the University will benefit is that we can attract outside vendors who would want to use the facilities like the new soccer fields or something. This will allow more money back to the university general fund which pays for class space availability and professors. Very good things. What we need to be careful of is to make sure that we do not pay for a building (parking structure) until it opens. we have already discussed with the university the idea of the user fee not being implemented until the building is available for use.
