Sample Comments From the Architects Visit
March 27, 2006

  • Provide a Phone-A-Thon room, with 15 calling stations, including a computer and headset at each station.
  • More natural light.
  • Would like the building to be light-filled, with open meeting places.
  • Provide a restroom near the main dining room
  • Hicks needs a "project room," where students can come and work on projects or artwork without having to take a formal class.
  • Provide places for permanent artwork installations.
  • Focus on "green!"
  • The entrance doors need glass in them to prevent opening the door in someone's face.
  • Handicap accessibility.
  • Bookstore in a more prominent location.
  • Activities currently are too hidden (ex: radio station)-make more visible!
  • Need comfortable hangout spaces.
  • Small stage for bands and small performances.
