Summary: » An entirely studentcentered project in response to
feedback from the student body about the state of the
University Center facilities
» After a number of site visits and a comprehensive master
planning process, a studentled initiative was born
» The UC 2010 Referendum
(November 18 and 19, 2008)
Over 4,000 students voted during the 2 day voting period
77% of student ballots--close to a national record--were in favor of a
referendum that would raise the UC Fee to $160 per fall and spring
semester in order to finance a comprehensive transformation of the
existing University Center with a $100 million cost
Due to the financial downturn coupled with creative planning, the final UC
Fee will only be $135 to finance an $80 million project
