Kaukauna:

That’s a great point, actually! I wish administrators would keep the “do no harm” point in mind.

I’m just not sure how administrators ever thought this was a good idea. If anything, I think Hallowed Grounds should be EXPANDED - not minimized.

Also, I get the sense that certain mixed use spaces - such as the Reynolds Club - are reaching capacity. In the near future, it might be time for a bigger “student union” sort of a place, as everything now is kind of decentralized - students meet in the Reynolds club, South campus, Logan probably hosts meetings, etc. I wonder, though, if this is really on the radar for the admins.

I think transforming henry crown into a large student union, and then maybe expanding Ratner to be the central gym facility, would be cool. Knowing the administration, though, some ugly modernist high rise will be next on the agenda.
