This article talks about how University of Kentucky just received a $20 million dollar donation from UK trustee and graduate Bill Gatton to help pay for the $175 million new student center. Groundbreaking is scheduled for June and to be opened in 2017. The student center will include all of the things that it has right now and will also be the home of the new visitor center. This relates to my project because it deals with the facilities that are available to all the students at the university and how it benefits them and their life at UK. Gatton has also donated money earlier in his life for the college of business, his overall donation costs add up to about $45 million dollars at UK. The new student center will offer newer and better facilities for the students but the location will remain right near where it is now. This is a good location for the student center because it is right at the heart of campus where kids are always at. I wonder if the new student center will attract more kids to come to it? Also if it will offer more amenities than it does now for the students to use?
