all the Aggies that have died in com-bat,” Altendorf said.

There are also areas on the glass without inscription, reserved for Aggies who will die in combat in future years.

The improved Hall of Honor is home to the memorial nature of the Memorial Student Center. When designing the building, Altendorf said those involved had to decide what kind of approach to take.

“Do you take the whole build-ing and make it all reverential? And will that damper the celebratory things that happen in this building?” Altendorf said. “Or do you zone so that parts of the building are more somber and reverential versus cel-ebratory.”

Altendorf said the designers ac-complished the goal of combining

The Flag Room sits in the heart of the MSC as a lounge, living room and a tradition. Flags, globes and cowhide couches contribute to the atmosphere.

Welcome homeHall of Honor immortalizes Aggie heroes

In a reverent, secluded hall of the Memorial Student Center, sunlight illuminates the names of Aggie he-roes who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country.

The identities — dating from World War I to the War on Terror — are etched in glass punctuating the East end of the Hall of Honor. Mere steps from the standing glass, seven elaborate ornament cases house the Medals of Honor earned by seven former students for valor in combat during World War II.

Luke Altendorf, director of the Memorial Student Center, said this is a change from the original Hall of Honor that only had names of casu-alties from World Wars I and II.

“What we’re doing is working with the Sanders Corps Center to assure that we’re going to recognize

Eco-friendly features fuel renovated MSC

It’s time to welcome the reno-vated Memorial Student Center to the University — a grand open-ing to the edifice that houses the heart and soul of the A&M cam-pus culture. As the living room of campus, the MSC will serve as home to student organizations, host for University events and gateway to Aggieland for campus visitors — all in an eco-friendly environment. This is because the renovated MSC was designed to reduce environmental impact and contribute to a greener future.

The MSC joins environmen-tally friendly buildings on campus including the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building, which met Leadership in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design standards. The buildings were designed and built with human and environmental

health as specific objectives. Kelly Wellman, sustainabil-

ity officer in the Division of Administration, said the MSC’s functionality embodies the Ag-gie Spirit with an environmental twist.

“Several features have been added to make the MSC more environmentally friendly. One of the most notable is the addi-tion of natural light,” Wellman said. “Bringing the outdoors in through glass exterior improve-ments and skylights has created a

Dining options fill campus living room

When the MSC opens its doors on Satur-day after three years of renovation, students will be able to satiate their stomachs and social cravings with a host of new choices.

“I routinely ate lunch in the MSC my freshman year with friends,” said psychology major Bruce McLemore. “Finding seating took either luck or strategy when everyone was packed in there.”

Building designers sought to alleviate lunchtime traffic by opening the seating area, allowing for multiple entrances and exits. To accompany the larger and more spacious din-ing area, the MSC boasts five new concepts aimed to please the palette of any discerning diner.

“Smokin’” provides barbeque entrées rang-ing from chopped beef and rotisserie chicken to pulled pork and sausage. Students can also purchase fried chicken, strips or nuggets on select days. Traditional barbeque and cobbler and pie for dessert complete the southern-

Student union reopening completes UniversityEDITORIAL

Three years have passed since our student body had a proper home.

The Aggie spirit has survived in pieces during this period through the unity of the Twelfth Man, the glimmer of the Aggie Ring and the somber reverence of Muster and Silver Taps. But this spirit lacked continuity in the student body’s everyday affairs, subtly weakening stu-dents’ connection to one another and to many of A&M’s most reverent traditions.

It’s been years since we celebrated the sense of community embodied by a student union. It’s been years since we actively, daily recognized the humble sense of service at A&M’s heart — keep-ing off the grass and removing our hats out of respect for the sacrifices of former students who once loved the University as we do now.

On Saturday, we begin to fill this void three years in the making.

Although we were not at A&M in 2008 to approve of the renovation proj-ect, current classes shouldered much of the resulting cost — both financial and to our University experience. Willingly or otherwise, we sacrificed our time with the MSC as a service to future students.

We took the change in stride, learning to call A&M “home” even without its living room. This is the only A&M three classes of students have known — an incomplete A&M, similar in this regard to the college that existed prior to the MSC’s opening in 1951.

For those who walked the MSC’s halls in the 61 years since, the building was, and will again be, students’ first and most lasting impression of the University.

In the coming year, it will be students’ role to restore the MSC’s traditions and importance to the Aggie way of life.

By filling the building every day — embracing its features and honoring its traditions — current and future students will learn to regard the MSC as former students did.

The student body will learn to love the MSC as it loves A&M.

style meal.Pile On replaces student-

favorite Rumors as the go-to sandwich and deli option for lunch and dinner. A wide va-riety of meats and toppings are offered on bread served toasted or cold. There are also salad options for the health conscious.

Rumors was a student-pleaser because it remained open after hours, benefiting from a location with doors to the outside of the building. This feature was lost in the renovations.

“Since Pile On is located inside the MSC proper with the rest of the concepts, it will not be able to keep the same working hours that Rumors did,” said David Riddle, ex-ecutive director for University Dining.

Replacing the late-night option will be Rev’s American Grill, just inside the building entrance nearest Joe Routt. Rev’s offers a “fun, casual dining atmosphere” and will serve customized burgers and sandwiches as well as salads.

“Rev’s is completely self sufficient with its own doors in and out and dedicated bath-rooms,” Riddle said.

Inserting a touch of contro-versy to design plans, rumors of alcoholic options at Rev’s circled campus during the past year, but officials announced the menu will remain dry.

“The decision to not serve alcohol is due to the fact that the MSC is still a war memo-rial and some would consider it disrespectful,” Riddle said.

In lieu of traditional inebri-ations, Rev’s will feature Saint Arnold’s root beer, brewed in Houston and touting a strong Texas tradition. Rev’s also preserves the late hours of op-eration.

Students accustomed to dining on South Side are doubtlessly aware of the pizza and pasta facilities located in the Commons dining area. The MSC has a fused iteration of the two with Ciao, serving both pizza by the slice, pasta and baked casserole dishes.

In order to further direct the peak-hour flow of hun-gry students, three other din-ing options are offered on the

lower level, below the main dining area. These include Cabo, a Mexican-style eatery with tacos and burritos, and Cool, a desert-dedicated con-cept offering frozen yogurt, gelato, fresh fruit and infused waters.

Another, less traditional dining option will debut in the lower levels of the MSC. Panda Express will open a quick-serve station in the same vein as Chic-fil-A else-where on campus — but not until August.

“I’ve waited a long time for this place to reopen, and I’m sure my fellow seniors agree with me,” said senior English major T.D. Durham. “The first thing I’m going to do is grab a root beer, some barbeque, and bask in old memories.”

As the campus living room, the MSC is a hot spot for so-cializing, studying and relax-ing between classes. But on the building’s second floor, a grand ballroom will showcase a different side of the MSC’s personality as a proper enter-tainer to special occasions, in-cluding dances, banquets and weddings.

Elizabeth Andrasi, MSC president and Class of 2011, said the ballroom will be home for Ring Dance, Muster Bar-beque and class reunions.

According to Sherry Wine, University Center Director, the ballroom is 15,824 sqare feet and can be seperated into five rooms by dividers that descend from the ceiling. The 2012 Ring Dance will take advantage of this feature by di-viding the dance into themed rooms, allowing guests to dance, play games, sing kara-oke and socialize as they wish throughout the night. An-drasi said each divided room are made functional by inde-

pendent audio and visual ca-pabilities. In total, the MSC ballroom can accommodate as many as 1,400 people.

In addition to holding cam-pus events, the MSC Ball-room will be available for rent by University organizations and outsiders alike at half- or whole-day intervals.

Wine said A&M-recognized student organization members can rent the facility for $500 for half a day and $1,000 for a full day. Non-university related groups can reserve the facility

for $2,000 for a half day and $4,000 for a full day.

Members of the Class of 2012 will be among the first students to enjoy the ballroom during Ring Dance — which Jennifer Terry, senior allied health major, said was fitting.

“My heart has missed hav-ing the MSC for three years,” Terry said. “It will be bitter-sweet to recall good memo-ries from freshman year in the MSC, but getting to end my senior year where my college years began is exciting.”

The 15,824 square-foot MSC Ballroom can host as many as 1,400 people, and can be divided into separate smaller ballrooms.

reverence with celebration. “I think they did a good job trying to make

it so that you don’t come in all excited and then take your hat off and be quiet and som-ber,” Altendorf said.

Ultimately, designers decided to improve the way the MSC houses the seven who re-ceived the nation’s highest award for valor.

“Not very many people in the U.S. have ever received the Medal of Honor,” Alten-dorf said. “These individuals are being recog-nized in a way that is probably more just to what they did.”

With new memorials, it seemed fitting that the medals themselves added a novel touch. Although the medals are replicas — the au-thentic medals in possession of the Univer-sity are housed at the Sanders Corps Center — the ribbons holding the medals are brand

new. According to Altendorf, the replicas could not be replaced because the sole pro-vider is the Department of Defense, which meant replacing old ribbons that were dam-aged while stored in shadow boxes.

Elizabeth Andrasi, MSC president and Class of 2011, said students and visitors may not have known the significance of the old Hall of Honor, but the new one is special.

“Before, people could walk right by and not even notice,” Andrasi said. “[The new hall] catches you off guard. It’s such an in-credible honor to receive those honors, and to be able to see their faces and read their stories, students will see that it truly is a part of our Aggie heritage.”

Altendorf said the hall is a reflection of the Bible verse inscribed in front of MSC, which also appears in glass next to the names of the Aggie heroes.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,” John 15:13.

welcomed change throughout the facility.”

A feature at the heart of the MSC is hallway-long skylight that allows natural light to penetrate all three of the building’s floors, lighting the dining area even below ground level.

Wellman said the MSC would serve as a critical cam-pus model for sustainability. Among the many green fea-tures are interior and exterior recycling options, upgrades to energy-efficient systems and water-conservation improve-ments.

“The variety of sustainable design features of the MSC is an essential demonstration of how our campus incorporates sustainability into our every-day lives,” Wellman said.

The MSC renovations were designed by Perkins Will, a global design firm that special-izes in environment-friendly and sustainability features. The firm received the No. 1 design firm ranking by Archi-tect Magazine based on de-sign quality, sustainability and financial performance. Perkins Will also has more Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-accredited profession-als than any other design firm in North America.

Dwight Burns is the se-nior project manager at Per-kins Will who worked on the MSC building design. He said the project specifications were written to eliminate as many harmful building materials as possible while keeping initial cost and long-term perfor-mance in mind.

“We like to say green de-sign is part of our corporate DNA,” Burns said. “Our re-sponsibility is to be good stew-ards of the students’ money as well as the environment as we evolved the project. I am confident that the MSC, with all of its environmentally-con-ceived features, will be an out-standing, high-performance building for many years.”

Burns said major elements of the building include ener-

Hall of HonorContinued from page 1

gy-efficient air conditioning systems, automatic building controls and high-performing insulation and roofing.

He described futuristic fea-tures in MSC meeting rooms that do everything short of di-recting group discussion.

Meeting room reservations are scheduled with computer interface, accessible on touch-screen monitors outside each meeting area. Fifteen minutes before a meeting starts, the doors unlock and audio-visual systems activate. No need to hit the light switch any longer, as motion sensors detect per-sons in the room — control-ling the lights and monitoring when a meeting runs long.

“This is a very effective way of controlling energy over-use,” Burns said.

Burns said students will find both passive and active green elements of the MSC to be re-sourceful and convenient.

“The students’ interac-tion with the building will be seamless. Most of the green elements are completely pas-sive, requiring no direct inter-action. Or they are intuitive, [such as] the lights controlled by occupancy sensors, motion detectors or timers,” Burns said. “An example of an active green system in the building would be the recycling bins scattered throughout.”

The recycling stations in-clude compactors that will help limit the waste product from the high-use facility.

Maha Ghyas, senior English major, said she has seen many buildings around campus implementing environment-friendly approaches and looks forward to seeing the MSC’s standard become the norm.

“I’m really excited to see all the new changes being implemented in the MSC and around campus in the future” Ghyas said. “A streamlined and eco-friendly ‘living room’ will definitely help to set the tone for future renovations on campus and gives Aggies another tradition to be proud of.”

Students’ interaction with the building will be

seamless. Most of the green elements are completely passive, requiring no direct interaction.”
