Squires officially re-opened Nov. 1 after a three-year shutdown for major renovations that added 51,222 square feet. The new Squires is unique among university student centers--a building that mixes student recreational activities with badly needed facilities for the visual and performing arts. The Perspective Gallery, the Haymarket Theatre, the Recital Salon, the Studio Theatre, the Black Cultural Center, and a food court all are designed to draw university life toward the facility.
