Weather issues and other construction-related delays have adjusted the relocation date several times, Mindy Griffith, senior coordinator of campus activities, said. The official move date is now set for March 8, allowing clubs time to relocate during Spring Break.
Some directors are hesitant to believe the move is finally happening.
The first time Rising Star was instructed to pack its office was before Christmas break. Fluctuating move dates have inspired frustration within the organization. Union galleries coordinator Chrissy Lieberman is experiencing difficulties finding room for the more than 200 permanent works of art which will need to move from MSU as construction accelerates. Some pieces may have to be stored, but the important original pieces need to be displayed. Many of the works in the permanent collection have been donated to or purchased by the student union.
