services center “President Michael Petersen has shown his abilities as a master statesman when using his expertise in convincing the hoard of regents that they should choose the CEl SSC from live

choose t wo projects from higher education buildSnow CEU University ing projects ol Utah Southern Utah University and Dixie College desired financial support to procure construction or planning for building projects In the end Snow received money to renovate an older building while CEU secured funds for the SSC For fund raising and publicity purposes an artist created a rendition of the SSC which will be used until the final plans have been drawn The artist studies the style of the existing buildings recognizing space limitations and creates an artist's perception of the what the building will look like The first stage of development is the programming phase An architect was hired to meet with each department who arc planning to have their pro live state-wid- e grams in the SSC to discuss their specific wants and needs The architect revised the requests of the college to accommodate space and economic feasibility This step took from approximately October to March The design phase develops actual blue prints from the programming phase Another architect is employed to formulate the design plans Dean of Student Life Jay Andrus stated that the college is in the process of choosing an architect “Because of physical limitations you never gel everything you ask for" Andrus said “What we will gel is a lot better than what we have" The primary benefit of the SSC is the centralization of all student services necessary for registration Within a few steps students have llie benefit of added efficiency and convenience Financial aid housing academic advising testing high school relations student lounge student government food service registrar and the hook store will have offices in the new center The next phase is construction Although CEU received money
