UNIVERSITY CENTER— While students took a hiatus from their studies over winter break, Delta College was hard at work updating various wings on campus.
The Place Making Committee was created to decide what would be included in the updates and how they would be implemented. The goal of the committee was to give the building more vibrancy and to designate areas of study on campus.
Delta College’s President Jean Goodnow led the initiative. Ben Clore, an associate professor of art at Delta, served on The Place Making Committee.
“It livens it up,” says Clore. “For the longest time, we didn’t really have artwork hung in the S-Wing and it’s where the art faculty work and art students come to learn.”
Clore hopes the renovations inspire students and make it a more exciting learning environment.
Updates to Delta’s main campus included new artwork, benches, couches, outlets and an electronic light display. The committee hopes to expand the renovations in the future.
