Corporate sponsorship tends to be directed at things people can interact with and people can use, he says, and therefore sponsors are more likely to contribute to the University than to the Students Union. He adds the University is still prepared to lease space from the USSU as per the original plan, but we require a core facility to meet our needs . The administration was allocated 51 per cent of the space in the proposed building, but that kind of room would not be available if the project is scaled back to simply renovating Place Riel. We can create more space in the Administration Building but that would mean we d have to move some units out, and that s not ideal. We have also explored renting space downtown and elsewhere, but that is not preferable.
