Tim Newman, sophomore information technology major from Ulysses, Kan., said he was excited to attend the special preview.
“I wanted to see all the possibilities that would come out of the space,” Newman said. “Aesthetically, it’s just beautiful.”
Patrick Luberus, freshman information technology major from Manhattan, Kan., said he also really enjoyed the environment.
“I think that because it was built specifically for student collaboration, I’ll get work done and still have fun.”
Clint Jones, freshman biology major from Fort Worth, won a 320 GB hard drive at the event.
“I’ll be up here mostly for online Web learning,” Jones said. “And I might just come up to hang out.”
Jones’ brother, Ethan Jones, junior business marketing major from Fort Worth, agreed.
“There’s a lot more space,” Jones said. “And it has all the bells and whistles. This might be the new social area.”
