Renovated Den opening set for early next week
The unveiling of the new Den has been officially set for Nov. 8. While the renovations were hoped to be completed earlier in the semester, there were delays caused by multimedia wiring issues.
“We were going to try and open it (Oct. 20) but we ran into a glitch with some of the multimedia aspects, and we want everything to be as state of the art as possible before we open it up,” said SGA President Zach Mullins. “The original target date to get it up and running was actually early November, so we are actually still right on schedule.”
Previously, the Den did include a Mac lab and gaming equipment but everything is going to be updated. There will also be new additions including a Blu Ray player, new televisions and a Bose surround sound system.
“The administration, staff, facility and other SGA members that have seen it have been very impressed so far. In fact the (Office of Admissions) is going to try and include it on the campus tours in the future,” Mullins said.
Students have been anticipating the revealing.
“It will be really cool to watch movies from those awesome massage chairs,” said junior psychology major Amber Schrubey.
Other students are looking forward to utilizing the Den for items they don’t own.
“Since I don’t have a Blu-ray player, I don’t get to watch my movies in their full graphic potential. If the Den gets a bunch of Blu-ray players, it would be nice to be able to have a place to go to where I can relax and watch my movies in perfect 1080p resolution,” said junior criminal justice major Nick Norton.
Some students are ready to see what amenities the new Den will have once it opens.
“With more things to do up there I would definitely have to check it out at some point,” said junior criminal justice major Reid White.
Mullins said that he as well as the rest of SGA is positive everything will be ready for the opening.
“We can’t wait until it finally opens so the rest of the student body can see all the progress we made,” Mullins said.
