Members of the outgoing CSU executive and Concordia administration came together on May 29 to finalize and sign an agreement on the process leading to a dedicated student centre on the SGW campus.

The arrangement outlines the steps involved in designing and constructing the centre, as well as the management approach once opened. The next step will be to continue the conceptual analysis and the development of the project.

The specific site is yet to be chosen and is hoped to be determined by 2012. The eventual target date for its opening is 2015.

Student support for the project has been overwhelming since the idea was set into motion. In 2003, the student body voted to institute a $1 per credit levee to contribute to the objective. In 2005, a vote to increase the levee to $2 per credit was passed with no obstructions.
