EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Putting the finishing touches on the new lobby The faculty lounge on the third floor has been upgraded and the suite that houses the reception area and the conference room of the dean's office has been totally redone. All public areas have been refurbished and the entire building has taken on a new glow. Lastly, the women's restrooms throughout the building have been refurbished and enlarged. The increase in women's restrooms provides an interesting social commentary on changing times. When Commerce West was begun in the early 1960s, there were few women undergraduates and practically no female graduate students and faculty. Hence, the fourth floor, given over to faculty and graduate students was built without a ladies room. This renovation has added a restroom for women on the fourth floor, rectifying this shortcoming and reflecting the changing population in the college and on the fourth floor. The college is indeed grateful to its benefactors for making this splendid refurbishment possible. Generations of students and faculty will reap the benefits of their generosity.
