Cassidy is working with the school to figure out possibilities as to how the food will be served. "We have to bite the bullet for a couple years but you can't get to the future unless you get to the beginning," said Cassidy.
"We are currently exploring the possibility of including additional seating areas in the quad area," said Jennifer Hughes, vice president of student services.
"The building has been around since the school was built," said Fauzi Hamadeh, accounting technician for student services. "It's been working for everything that we need it to."
"I have mixed feelings about having to be relocated," said Hamadeh. "It would be nice to be in the heart of the campus. But moving will be a real challenge." Hamadeh is required to have everything packed up before the May 15 date when the building actually closes.
The second new building is Bldg. 10N, which will become a signature building for the campus. Bldg. 10N will be a four-story building that will house the cafeteria, bookstore, the majority of Student Services, the Broadcast and Media program as well as some administrative and faculty offices.
"The vision for the building is to create a central, integrated location in the heart of the campus for students to obtain student services and academic support services," said Hughes.
The new building will be a "home" for students where it will be a location that the students can return to, she said.
"The floor plans will be designed to take advantage of the local and distant views and will include outdoor decking areas for students and staff to gather," explained Hughes.
"Space will be designed to be physically responsive to the College's changing needs," said Hughes. "We want to create unique synergies of flexibility, collaboration and socialization." Bldg. 10N is expected to open summer 2011.
