UBC Student Union Building

Tons of space which is why I like it. On my days off I visit some of my friends who are studying at UBC and we hang out at the student union building. Be prepared to fight to death for an outlet for your laptop (kidding on the fight to the death part, however, you get the idea). Most of the time it is really clean, however, teenagers are slobs and still haven’t learned that the world isn’t going to pick up after them, therefore, expect most seats to have garbage on them. There has been many times in which I felt like a mother cleaning up after these slobs. Oh to be a self absorbed teenager again. There are some food stalls, however, the better ones are closer to the cafeteria (I’ve reviewed those). They’v recently expanded.

It’s been a very long time coming for me to see this new piece of architecture come into the landscape of my AMS after my mutiple decade departure.
Anticipation did not disappoint. It’s a beautiful building.
Spacious, well lit, multiple levels with a fast elevator, and charging stations everywhere for those laptops and pads.
The new SUB is still connected to the old SUB via an underground corridor.
The PIT is now moved into the new sub from it’s old location. I wonder what it’ll be like.
The soft opening of the new Sub happened sometime early June 2015. I got to peek in here yesterday in the evening.
There are still several vendor vacancies in here, but the usual food stalls are around. Blue Chip Cookies will be moving in. I notice that there will be a grocery store settling in soon.
There are individual study and conference rooms, as well as new club offices. CITR has already relocated in the basement.
In addition there is an performance space and an art exhibition space. Talk about a lot!
Looks like I’ll be spending more of my leisurely time here whenever I feel nostalgic.
