How much extra space will the new Student Centre provice students?
During construction approximately 5,000 square feet will be removed from the current 30,000 square foot Student-Alumni Centre. The new student centre will add approximately 45,000 Square Feet, meaning students will gain approximately 40,000 square feet of new space, in addition to the 25,000 square feet left from the existing Student-Alumni Centre. This will mean a grand total of approximately 65,000 square feet of student-focused space on campus.
The new Student Centre will open up further opportunities for BUSU to support clubs, events and services, more than ever before, and provide areas for students to connect, collaborate, relax, have fun, and feel like they belong to the Brock University community.
