I don't see anything about the second floor so I assume that will stay largely as-is… which is probably OK though the University Press and OWLTV need larger, more respectable workspaces.
I'm surprised they're removing The Burrow but in all its different iterations it was never really that happening a spot whereas gaming is huge in the Union.
Years ago I made a push for rooms/space with projectors for the screen, which would really elevate it beyond, say, what you could do in your dorm, but they took a long time from those talks to here so I'm not surprised.
But I will say, after playing splitscreen Halo on a 10-12 foot tall wall on the side of my friend's house.. that would have been amazing at FAU!

Will FAU sponsor E-Sports next fall?
