Student Experience Center & Memorial Union updates
As the Oregon Legislature begins its month long session this week, one of the items before it is the approval for OSU to sell bond for purposed building projects, including the student backed “Student Experience Center” to replace the structurally unsound Snell Hall. Building funds have already been approved; the Legislature just needs to approve the sale of bonds to begin construction.
The Corvallis Gazette Times had an article yesterday explaining the process. You can read it at this link.
