andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This has been badly needed for years. Nice to see maybe they are finally getting going on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks like a nice update of the facility. Hopefully they have some better outdoor sitting areas around it too. Anyone know how it's being funded? Dining dollars/student fees/spirit fund donations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This has been badly needed for years. Nice to see maybe they are finally getting going on it. Wilkerson is a relic from the 1960's and 70's. This is long overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericpnelson Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 When I went to college, I didn't need fancy architecture and designs in my Wilkerson dining hall. All I needed was old pictures, weird colors, and the largest cereal bar I've ever seen in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I discovered soft boiled eggs at Wilkerson. They did the best they could...but it was a guarantee that they couldn't screw up soft boiled eggs. Does anyone remember, "sunshine chicken"...I still laugh about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wilkerson is a relic from the 1960's and 70's. This is long overdue. 60s architecture is just detestable. Chester Fritz Auditorium can use a facade makeover too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I actually like the design. I also think it will stand up with time. Not everything on campus needs to be pseudo gothic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
