STUDENT UNION > RENOVATION > RENOVATION UPDATE
The USU painting project is complete but for a handful of touch up and repair items that should be done next week. Planning for the Satellite Student Union (SSU) painting project which is being funded by savings from the USU painting project is also progressing with specifications written and plans drawn. The colors will match the USU project with the exception of green as the SSU has no copper patina to match. The yellow color found in the USU works well at the SSU as the facility already has bright yellow anodized aluminum window frames that are difficult to paint. The project should bid in a few weeks and be done in October.
The Performing Arts Center in the USU was officially renamed the Plaza del Sol Performance Hall last Monday at the Board of Directors meeting. With input from students as well as several campus departments, the decision to rename the facility was largely driven by confusion with the new Performing Arts Center that should be opening in 2010. The new name strikes a balance between the spirit of the Student Union and intimate yet professional venue style.
A Grand Opening Celebration to officially welcome students back to the USU is scheduled for Tuesday, September 12. Running from 11:00am to midnight, the extravaganza includes a ribbon cutting ceremony, DJ music, performances, live bands, food, facility tours, open houses, games, a comedy show and Club Pub. Please mark you calendars and come out for a great day of celebration!
