Student Organization space is inviting, large and attracts a great deal of traffic.
65 carrel spaces
Work Space
Connected to advisors and reservations (Student Union and Activities)
Greeks, Spirit Groups, Orientation connected to DOS
Creation Station
No walls – open friendly
DOS / SU&A / Student Organizations all close in proximity (avoiding the student run-around which exists at UH)
Meeting rooms adjacent to student organizations
Multiple ATM options (24-hour access)
Well maintained and has a “clean” feeling
Original building and expansion very similar in style
School spirit evident
Students clearly were involved throughout the planning process – and it shows
Meeting rooms were great (diverse styles)
New/Old areas of the building seemed almost seamless
Artwork in meeting rooms represented TT spirit, history, and tradition
The use of limestone was genius!
No AV equipment charges to student organizations – just personnel expenses
Double T in bookstore, on floors, pride - community
All leases generate income for the Center (utilities, CAM, and/or commissions)
Great Loading Dock
Meeting rooms had school spirit, history, Masked Rider, Round Table, embed pictures in tables
Student Union and Activities are together – supporting students and student organizations
Food – options, friendliness of staff, choice, healthy options – we need self-op food service
Electronic window shades (natural light and open)
Post Office, Technology Store – Retail Corridor was very well organized
Use different styles of chairs/furniture
Food choices and variety
Simply amazing
SGA, FS, and SS Council Room was impressive
Outlets in table units
Auditorium in Union was awesome
Chair design could improve
Note – Price Is Right Wheel
Nice recycling program
Comparisons with UH and Concepts for UH
A very different view of a renovation/expansion – in a positive way
Always stayed open throughout renovation/expansion
Multiple ATM options (24-hour access)
Study Spaces and Lots of Small Rooms
Has a great community feeling
Great Union space
Closest to my vision for what UH could do with the UC
Great architecture
Wide-open food court – with great/diverse options
Good space for student organizations – and not just fee-funded student organizations
Like the Terrazzo and the TT logo in the walkways
Retention of former outside space - not being inside was very cool – we need to enclose the Arbor – and reduce it in size
UH should follow the renovation (with significant internal restructuring/repositioning) and small renovation approach
Restaurant options are creative and diverse in nature
Student organization cubicles were great (large and community-oriented)
The artwork is awesome!
Great overall model for UH to follow (students and student organizations first, TT pride, positive food services, great retail area, true collaboration)
All units/offices/departments provide financial support (CAM, utilities, etc.)
Food Services in general – can the UH Hilton do food services on-campus? Clearly, a single contractor reduces student satisfaction.
The retail corridor is very well developed – from each of the entrance points
Great Student Union model that focuses on STUDENTS as the main focus
Information Center right at the entrance (that has a building function as well)
