What will happen to the office spaces after the renovation is something that is still not decided, although both Towle and members of various student organizations have a few expectations. Towle hopes the organizations will return to nicer offices equal in space to the ones they currently occupy. The Building Advisory Team of Coffman Union recently approved a motion to try to give existing organizations preferential consideration of locations, although they admit they can't guarantee this. Student organizations also have a few requests of their own. Richon Xiong, of the Asian American Student Cultural Center, hopes the center can keep the same location with the additions of a separate office and kitchen.
Safety is another main concern for a few of the smaller organizations.
Some of the current office space for organizations on the second floor is made up of cubicle dividers that don't reach from the floor to ceiling. Although the offices have locks on the doors, some organizations are concerned for the safety of the equipment inside the offices. Kevin Kjonaas, a member of the Student Organization for Animal Rights, said the group plans to get a computer in the future, but hopes that with the Coffman renovation they will gain a safer office. The organization shares an office with Crisis Point Theatre and the Baha'I Association, and the issue of safety is something they have all discussed together. I forgot the key to the office a few times and I just jumped over the wall.
