The Chemistry and Science buildings will be repurposed once the majority of the lab space has been moved. Classrooms in the new building are unnecessary since the old lab space in the old buildings can be converted to classrooms. And a new lecture hall is not needed, there are plenty on campus at the moment. Only a few first year classes have the class sizes that large.
And teaching space absolutely includes lab space. That's actually the most valuable teaching time for a science student. Class work means jack shit if you can't actually put it to practice. Not that I expect someone who sits in a classroom reading about peoples feelings all day to understand. And student gathering places? She takes exception that for some reason. The building has space allocated for undergraduate student societies. If she wants more, she must be reminded that this is a place of learning, not a place of play.

Sounds like the science community needs more representation on MUNSU. From the sound of it MUNSU doesn't seem to be taken seriously, which is a shame. But nonetheless, if they continue to complain about issues such as this with what appears to be little understanding then the trend will just continue. Were MUNSU included during consultation and design phases?
