Quote:The University will contribute $10 million of the capital costs towards the expansion and students would need to contribute the remaining $24 million through an $18 per term fee, for the addition to be built.
The proposed expansion would include a 63,970-square foot addition to the SLC and the PAC, to the west of the BMH Green. The new space will connect to the current SLC on all three floors and connect with the Red North corner of the PAC. It will also include a link connecting the SLC to the third floor of the MC building and a covered walkway to the AHS buildings.
The expansion will focus on the creation of additional student social, activity, dining, and recreation space, to help facilitate a greater sense of community and to improve the Waterloo student experience.
A referendum will be held February 9-11, 2016 to ask undergraduate and graduate students if they will support an $18 per term fee to build the SLC/PAC Expansion.
