Question of the Week: SAC Renovations
After the recent reveal of the new Student Activities Center (SAC), we asked students, “What do you think of the SAC renovations, and what is your favorite change?”

I love the new SAC! My favorite thing that they did was adding the swings for seats at one of the tables. I would give it 4.5 (of 5) stars. I love everything. The only thing I would add are some big area rugs in front of the couch areas and pillows on the couches and chairs.

It looks really nice. It’s like a nice cafe. It isn’t much of an activities center, but it does look cool.

I like how there is more seating with tables. It feels like a space I could do homework in. One thing I don’t like is the stark contrast between the black and white on the walls. I would like to see some warmer colors, like a beige. It feels empty. There needs to be more personality on the walls, maybe some student artwork. I like the changes, but it feels like the renovations are more for looks than for function; one example being the sofas having no coffee tables.

I like the swings. I am not a fan of the industrial feel of the chairs, tables, and the space of the room. Needs more food. When you walk in, I want to fill my stomach up instead of being hungry.

The SAC is a beautiful new addition to campus life. I hope the students respect it and treat it for what it is worth. There are a few bumps to iron out as I saw some leaks or drips from where they removed the drop curling, but overall, it took what was a 90s rundown rec. room and turned it into a sophisticated young adult lounge. However, one would hope the same attention to detail would be used when handling student accounts or even living areas, AKA dorms.
