Union Renovation---we want your input!

From: Caroline Rose
-------------

After the construction of the new Union South, the UW plans to begin a renovation of the theatre wing of Memorial Union (~2011 or 2012). The entire Hoofers area is included in this project.
What we are asking for right now is ideas regarding the design of our new space. What would you like to see in the renovated Hoofers area? Are there things you like or don't like about the current setup? Is there a way we could improve meeting areas, work areas, the way we store and organize equipment, etc.? I will compile ideas from the Outing Club and bring them to the Hoofer Council members in charge of the planning. I would at least like to hear from every interest group.

Kyle Olsen, a former Hoofer president, is our Hoofer Council Renovations Chair; he and other Hoofer Council members will be coordinating the planning of the new Hoofers area and will do their best to see that our proposals make it into the final project plans. They are looking for input from any Hoofer who wants to be involved. If you would like to be involved in the planning process, they will be putting together some meetings in the near future. I will continue to send updates on that, but if you are interested in meeting to discuss the new designs, you can contact Kyle at kcolsen@wisc.edu.

If anyone has experience/ expertise in CAD, Kyle would be interested in working with you.
