The Centrum will be the west end of the building and the new Student Center will be the east, but construction of the second phase won't begin until the funding for it is found. "We hope to combine the new Student Center and the Centrum within three to 15 years and then the majority of the campus functions will be brought together," said Church. "Hopefully it will bring in private enterprises too. We're hoping to have a movie theatre, restaurants, a video store, and a ballroom." SUSC has not has a new Student Center sooner because it never had enough funding. Officials say that the school now has the finances. . "Being on a college team is a learning experience," said Amodt, "It's really been great so far because in the last few days the older members have really helped me out a lot." Most of the funding for new Student Center has come from student fees, general funding and the rent paid by the Bookstore and food services, said Church. The current Student Center will be used for conferences and the the Division of Continuing Education when the new Student Center is finished. Redington receives statewide award 6, Petrello." "Our main priority is ending up with a building that we can be proud of, that will meet our needs and that we can afford," said Church. "We have a greater need to make good decisions, instead of concentrating on the urgency to get the building built. One challenge has been the financing. We want to get the building for the best price, rather than getting it built so soon."
