I got the opportunity to attend the open house this past weekend for the new Tedrick Welcome Center on the SIUC campus and I must say it presents a much more agreeable "face" to the university than did the now demolished McAndrew's Standium or the large parking lot that was there. Still, did the university need that much addtional meeting space? By my estimation there are three floors of rooms there, much of which I will bet are either going to be used for meeting rooms or offices. It would be nice to see some funds directed to repairs of other buildings on campus, though reparis are not nearly as flashy as new buildings are.
