In 24 hours on One Day for Students, donors gave over $2,500 to assist in refurbishing the lounge, a total which was matched by the college.

The official launch party and ribbon-cutting for the new and improved lounge took place on Wednesday, September 21, 2016. The lounge, located in Arts 220, now features new seating and counters to accommodate study space, newly painted walls, prints (including pieces created by students) and a pool table.

"This is no longer an empty space," said Arts and Science Students' Union President Olya Stepanenko. "It is a safe and comforting environment welcome to all Arts & Science students."
