Sangren Hall Survey – on-line June 8 to June 19• 1061 responses at noon, Friday June 12• “I think it is a great idea to ask students for input on renovating

Sangren. This helps cast the University in a positive light by incorporating student opinions into the structure of the University.”

• Out-dated classrooms:– inefficient, not accessible, low- or no-

technology

• Poor first impression– Most freshmen are used to better

facilities at their high schools

• Poor last impression– Most education graduates will work in

better facilities • Building deficiencies

– Old, inefficient mechanical systems– Chronic maintenance headaches– Barrier-free and accessibility problems
