More than simply the "living room" of campus,
the new student center will provide opportunities that integrate
out-of-classroom learning, leadership development and community
involvement. The center also will house Mort’s Place,
which will serve grilled sandwiches and appetizers during
and after late-night events offered in the Shack, a programming
area surrounded by Shack memorabilia.

New
Student Center Construction Begins
By Michelle Froese and Patricia Bloom
You may have noticed Beetle Bailey loafing
around campus. That's because construction for the much anticipated
student center has begun. Thank goodness, Beetle won't be responsible
for any of the construction — it's too much work for him.
However, Mizzou family and friends will definitely notice a change
in scenery as the new student center begins to take shape.
The new student center is being built in two
phases to ensure that students have the resources and services
they need throughout the entire process. Project one, which has
just begun, involves new construction to the east of the current
Brady Commons. Walk by the job site and you'll see the creation
of a framework and the beginning of walls and mechanical equipment.
After project one is completed in late Fall 2008, essential student
resources and services will move into the finished area to allow
for renovation of the existing Brady Commons, which encompasses
project two.
Upon completion of the entire building in
spring 2011, the new limestone center will be roughly twice the
size of the current Brady Commons. Mizzou's new student center
will remedy the many challenges related to lack of space in the
existing facility. The new student center will
offer students more space to:
- study, socialize and interact with faculty
and peers
- get involved in student programs and activities
- gain hands-on experience with student media,
including the Maneater, KCOU and MUTV
- develop leadership skills through Greek
Life involvement
- enjoy improved and diverse dining options
- celebrate the history and traditions that
define the Mizzou experience
More than simply the “living room”
of campus, the new student center will provide opportunities that
integrate out-of-classroom learning, leadership development and
community.
As with all construction projects, parking
can sometimes be a challenge. However, once the new student center
is complete, some parking will return to the former Hitt St. Visitor's
lot. Although the construction may be a disruption to our campus
now, upon completion the new student center will unite past and
present students in a new building that celebrates Mizzou tradition
and spirit. Beetle Bailey never had it so good.
