Among many other recent developments, the announcement of the departure of Travel Cuts/Voyages Campus from the SSMU Building, marks a changing landscape of space in our campus’ only undergraduate student-run building.
Whether you want a student-run cafe, more bookable space, a gym, or more club offices, come have your say! This is a historic opportunity, and our big chance to make a big impact on the priorities of this building.
Tentative Agenda is as follows: Please come to learn and share your thoughts on any session on its own, or come for the whole day!
*after each session, there will be 15 minutes allotted to tying the session back to a broader visioning of the goals and mission of the building.
noon-12:30pm: Presentation from SSMU Executives Josh & Allison about the history and long-term visioning efforts of the building and current student proposals and projects
12:30-1pm: Food! — what kind of food operations do we want to see in the building? What values should our food services reflect?

2:15pm-2:45pm: Prioritization of Room Categorization — what kinds of space do we most want to see in the buidling: lounge, offices, fancy event spaces, small meeting rooms, commercial food operations, …?

3:00pm-3:30pm: Event space — a discussion of room bookings, advanced room bookings, alcohol event procedures, equipment, and space: what kinds of events do we want to be able to host in the building?
