For the last 4 months a group of students, faculty and administrators have been working with architects from the firm of Perkins and Will in order to develop designs that accurately reflect the desires of the diverse groups on campus while at the same time creating several different plans that fit into three distinct budgets. The vote on May 22nd will allow students to pick between a high budget plan, a medium sized one, a small one and also the option of nothing at all, meaning that the CAB stays as is with its broken kitchen and dank lighting.
Even if students don’t approve any of the three plans the CAB will still undergo a renovation to deal with the structural, electrical and ventilation systems which, after 35 years, are in heavy need of an upgrade. What the students will be asked to vote starting on May 22
nd will be whether or not they are willing to add a self-imposed fee in order to pay for more ambitious plans to make the CAB a more enjoyable and useful space. Some of the features in the student funded plans include a student run café, more study/lounge spaces, an edible roof garden and more space for Student Activities.
