Do renovations, constructions meet student needs?

Some buildings on our campus are more fortunate than others.  Take for example the Hill Hall, Fine Arts, and the campus police buildings.
Hill Hall has been vacant since 2005 because of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
It has been scheduled to be renovated and turned into a Student Success Center that will feature an open lobby, a café, classrooms, a major lecture hall, counseling offices, meeting rooms and a tutoring area. The building sounds like a combination of the Hauser building and Java City. WSSU, we have to do better.
The new Donald J. Reaves Student Union, scheduled to open in May will house lots of new amenities including office spaces, meeting rooms for student organizations, a dining area and fitness centers.
The fitness center and Ram Shack, both in Thompson Center, will be relocated to the new structure; however, our small bookstore will remain intact.
That bookstore was built for a smaller student body of about 2,000 students. We have now grown to more than 6,000.
Because of all the moves from one building to another, the school will have to spend more money to turn the old fitness center and Ram Court area into something else. Will the school have the money to make those changes or will those areas sit vacant? WSSU, we have to do better.
Lecture halls in the RJ Reynolds and Hall Patterson buildings were updated; however, classrooms on the third floor in Hall Patterson need work.  In some of the classrooms in both buildings, half of the windows don’t close, half of them don’t open and the majority of the classrooms still have chalkboards. It’s 2013 and we are still using chalkboards in classrooms.  WSSU, we have to do better.
The Fine Arts building is falling apart. For example, there are areas in the building that leak, the band room is not large enough to hold all the band members and the Wi-Fi works sometimes.  The building is overdue for a serious makeover. In addition, there are not enough classrooms. Some music classes are taught in The Anderson Center because there are no spaces available in Fine Arts. WSSU, we have to do better.
The campus police building recently received a full makeover. Campus police have been in that location since 1988, so it was long overdue. But what about our classrooms?  Yes, the campus police should have a comfortable work area, but shouldn’t students have a comfortable study area? WSSU, we have to do better.
Clearly, there needs to be some re-evaluations done about the things we need on campus to improve the overall student study, entertainment and living experience. WSSU, we have to do better.
