In case you missed it, Schine Student Center will undergo a major transformation. If you’ve paid attention to Pete Sala’s emails, you know that construction is scheduled to start in May after the semester ends. The new design includes enhanced accessibility, more space dedicated to students (we’re talking THOUSANDS of square footage), and more connectivity across the levels. Here are some of the illustrative renderings to get an idea of the design concepts!
Helloooo, Sun-Schine!

We know food is important, and with the enhanced layout and seating in Schine Dining, there are going to be WAY more options for eating and hanging out.

Student organization space will be moving to the second floor of the building (Einhorn Family Walk level) with the offices of Student Activities and Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, putting student involvement front-and-center and right next to tabling space, too!
New Hub for Cultural Centers

The Disability Cultural Center, LGBT Resource Center and Office of Multicultural Affairs will co-locate into a new hub, featuring a dedicated lounge space in front of the entranceway. This new hub will promote inclusion, intersectionality and collaboration!
Game Watches Galore

On the first floor lounge, a massive media wall provides a new place to watch games or a livestream of the latest event. This first floor atrium will have plenty of versatile seating for hanging out, studying or eating.
Curious where stuff will be during the renovation? Make sure you check out the temporary relocations for offices and dining options! And don’t forget, the Bookstore and Goldstein Auditorium will remain open during the renovation!
