Academic Services facility, which
will open in spring 2007.
What used to be just one build

two buildings that will provide
a multitude of services for stu
dents and a plaza where they can
gather.
In 2001 University officials
began conversations with stu
dent leaders about the need for a
mixed-use facility. Students said
they would like to see a “one-stop

“Students want to have these ser
vices in one place,” said Christopher
Payne, associate vice chancellor for
student affairs. “Student feedback
really was the driving force behind
the Student and Academic Services
Building.”
The -smaller building facing
Manning Drive will have a com
puter lab with enough seating for
50 students as well as an informa
tion technology help center.

the main offices in the Steele

on Franklin Street.
Fred Clark, associate dean of
Academic Services, said that the
move will provide them with more
room and that the services will be
conveniently combined into one
building.
“We’re going to have a lot more
space than what we have now,”
Clark said.
The University cashier and reg
istrar also will transfer to the build
ing. The Office of Scholarships
and Student Aid will have a small
space, in addition to its main office

design of the surrounding South
Campus residence halls, especially
the newer ones.
The architectural designs of
the buildings are reminiscent of
Old East and Old West residence
halls.
The construction of the Student
and Academic Services facility is
part of a trend of development on
South Campus.
The Ramshead Center, a multi
story parking deck and dining
hall facility, opened in March,
and a recreation center opened
on the parking deck earlier this
semester.
Officials say the construction on
South Campus marks the gradual
southward progression of the heart
of campus.
“I think that slowly the culture is
going to be shifting to that end of
the campus,” Clark said.
