The funding for the new union will come from a bond that is purchased from the state of West Virginia. Student activity fees will be used to repay the bond over the next 30 years. The new union will have an added 20,000 square feet. The expansion will extend from the front of the building and replace the unused back patio. The new union is expected to house the office of admissions, financial aid and all other student affairs programs.
Plans are to have an on-campus mail service, and a copy center.
There may also be a ticket master. The student union administrative board wants to keep the union as an activity center for students. Ideas have been discussed of making the game room into a free-weight exercise room. Plans for the free-weight room are on hold due to the future renovations of the Fleming Hall gym. If you have any suggestions for the future expansion of the Wilson College Union see Joey Oden or Jerry Miller on the 2nd floor of the Union.
