The historic Fishbowl at EMU is open again to the public. The old cafeteria is gone and the remodeled space, including Stabucks, is complete. The remaining vendors—Chipotle, Joe’s Burgers, Subway and Panda Express—will open later this fall.
The project continues to move forward in June with new finished space in the renovation turned over, areas within the existing building turned into construction space, and the new wing making steady progress towards building enclosure completion. As evidenced by the large hydraulic scaffolding equipment on site, masonry has begun on the north elevation of the North Wing and will work steadily from west to east. The installation of sheathing and waterproofing continues to be installed clockwise around the building.
Mark your calendar for exciting events February 9 and 10, 2015. Richard J. Davidon, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin at Madison and Clifford Saron, director of the Shamatha Project at the University of California at Davis will be on campus for a research symposiaum, keynote leacture, mindfulness showcase, and consecutive workshops as part of our Common Reading program.
