Description
The Design Committee will evaluate the current and future use of the Bone Student Center. They will address how to revitalize the building through physical and operational improvements, and help the Bone Student Center better serve its users and the campus community. A project timeline for design and construction is being developed to coordinate with the design process for the Student Fitness and Kinesiology/ Recreation Building.

- The University is engaging an Operations and Management Consultant that specializes in Student Unions to study the issues affecting the Bone Student Center and the appropriate strategies to remedy. In the interim, other minor remodeling projects will still proceed that fit within the scope and direction of the overall intentions for the building. After the Consultants complete their task, an Architect will be hired to develop construction documents with construction possibly starting in 2010, if not sooner.
