Wright Sate Facilities and Planning is currently working out the details on the much discussed Woods Commons Building, a $3.9 million project that will include additional community space and a new “Food service venue,” according to Senior Architect Wende Morgan-Elliot.
Morgan-Elliot is the head of the endeavor.
“The facility will embrace the need for additional community space for students,” Morgan-Elliot said. “It’s an additional food service venue to complement the existing offerings, and new office locations for Residence Life and Housing.”
The goal is to enhance the quality of life for students, faculty, staff and visitors, Morgan-Elliot said.
“A major goal of the campus master plan is to provide a setting that contributes to the accomplishments of the University’s mission,” Morgan-Elliot said.
The campus master plan can be viewed online at the Facilities and Planning webpage.
There will be approximately 12,000 gross square feet in this new facility.
Junior Megan O’Brien said that she had no idea that there was going to be a new commons building on campus.
“I don’t want to see anymore construction on campus,” O’Brien said.
Though O’Brien said she did not enjoy the atmosphere of construction on campus she said the building could be good for future WSU students.
“Though I won’t be here when the building is finished, I am glad that future students will be able to have the opportunity to connect with the Wright State Community.”
The Woods Commons Building is scheduled for completion in 2015.
