...plans to convert the upper floors of the Hilles Building into an unprecedented amount of student-group space through rosier-hued glasses. Yet, judging from some of the illogical choices in the final distribution of space, perhaps we were a bit too optimistic. Although many previously homeless student groups are certainly satisfied to have space at all, several questionable assignments may leave you scratching your head.

And even then, many formerly homeless student groups will now find themselves awkwardly grouped with competitors or complete strangers.University Hall deserves credit for giving offices to these formerly homeless student groups. Over 90 student groups will be housed within Hilles’ translucent offices, the majority of which operated out of dorm rooms and Junior Common...
