SMC to be completed by fall 2011

In only a few short months, before the start of the fall 2011 semester, renovations to the Student Memorial Center (SMC) are scheduled to be completed.

Work will continue this summer on the downstairs area of the SMC. The Snapper, WIXQ and Touchstone can look forward to renovated offices, while meeting rooms will be revamped for various campus organizations.

In addition, the Copy Shop, Textbook Room and Club de ‘Ville will be under construction, while, on the main floor, the University Store and Reighard Multipurpose Room will also be renovated.

While the University Sore, Copy Shop and Textbook Room are being renovated, their services will be relocated into room 118E in the SMC. They will return to their respective locations toward the end of July.

“The old fitness center is being turned into the intramural offices as well as group fitness rooms. Club de’Ville, meanwhile, is getting a major face-lift. There will also be an additional entrance to Club de’Ville facing Shenks Lane for students,” said Geoff Beers, interim CEO/general manager of Student Services, Inc., and Student Lodging, Inc.

In March, just after spring break, most of the main floor of the SMC was re-opened. Some of the most notable features include the information desk, student affairs office, banking center, ticket sales and the Galley.
