Vision of the NEW Danna Student Center |
Back to index page |
Henry Muñoz capitalized on much of the previous MCF work and infused it with his own unique vision. Muñoz's desire was to let the building be what it was meant to be – modern. Click here to see the new look!
Muñoz believes that a student center should reflect the diversity of the Loyola community. The priorities are to:
-
Create and activate warm, welcoming, inclusive public spaces
-
Offer the best dining services in the nation
-
Provide attractive meeting rooms conducive to students’ needs
-
Allow for student organization office areas which promote interaction and collaboration.
