Maharishi University of Management executives and trustees expect the new Argiro Student Center to quickly become the physical and emotional center of campus after its Feb. 1 grand opening.
The 50,000-square-foot, three-level building includes a student lounge and cafe, bookstore, conference room, kitchen, dance floor, mailroom and 300-seat auditorium, as well as dining halls, classroom space, exercise space and student government offices. The idea for the new student center evolved out of the need to build a new kitchen. The idea developed into a $7.5 million grand building to accommodate a range of students' needs. About half the cost of the center has been covered by donations and pledges, and fund-raising efforts to cover the rest are ongoing. -From page of Fairfield Ledger http://tinyurl.com/3xzvbc 1.28.2008
