The guiding principle of how the building was designed was based on student-centered focus groups. After evaluating the needs of the students and the campus, a lack of a communal space for students from various departments was discovered.

CSUSB becomes comedy central
By Sharonda Harris |Staff Writer| With finals approaching, students were able to momentarily forget about exams, and laugh their butts off. Associated Student Incorporated (ASI) hosted it’s annual ‘Comedy Den’ on March 8. Nick Kendle, vice president of university affairs, decided that the ‘Comedy Dens’ should be held each quarter, contrary to the and far spaced scheduling of the event in the past. “These quarterly comedy dens are a way to help people relieve right before fi - nals; and it helps when you can laugh and forget about high gas prices, tuition, and test,” said Kendle. This Comedy Den featured comedienne and MC Cocoa Brown. “What I liked best about this event was … [Read more...] about CSUSB becomes comedy central
