The Student Union Society (SUS) held the grand opening and ribbon-cutting for the Student Union Building (SUB) last Tuesday, September 9 to kick off Welcome Week.
SUS president Thomas Davies and UFV president Mark Evered opened the building with speeches before students enjoyed free food and games later in the week.
The SUB planning, construction, and execution has been in the works since 2008 with a mortgage costing approximately $17.3 million — with two-thirds of the cost and building operations belonging to SUS.
The grand opening comes after the SUB gradually moved in Student Life, Academic Advising, SUS, The Cascade, and CIVL radio this summer.
