As advising centers migrate into the fourth floor of Lerner Hall, new space will become available -- and student clubs are eager to get their hands on it.

"The spaces in Broadway and Shapiro are going to be open to student groups and for student usage," explains Whitney Green, President of ESC.

The student councils have been lobbying for the space for two years, and now they'll decide how the space is used.

"We really want to hear what students want, whether it be more meeting space, more lounge space, more study space, anything like that," elaborates Sue Yang, President of CCSC. "We will have to take other things into consideration too like funding and also space restrictions. Certain walls can't be knocked down because they are structural. There might not be electricity running in a wall, etc."

The student councils aren't just saying they want students opinion -- they're conducting a formal survey to see what kind of space student groups need.

"Hopefully by the end of the month, they will be sending out a survey where students can give their feedback as to what they want with those spaces." says Sana Khalid. "Do they want it to be Lerner meeting spaces? Or do they want it to be more programming spaces?"

"We did have a town hall but the turn out was not so high for that. However, we make ourselves available at CCSC Cafe on Mondays from 6 to 8pm where they can definitely come by and tell us any of their heartfelt concerns."

"So, get that message out there. Tell your friends. Tell anyone you get into contact with. Take the survey and if not always feel free to stop myself, stop anyone on council, stop Sue, stop anyone in CCSC, stop anyone on the governing boards and make sure you talk to someone so that your voice is heard."

Right now, not many students have come forward to offer their ideas. But you can bet that if students don't decide how to use the space now, administration will.
