All packed up and ready to go

There’s a whole lot of movin’ going on.

First the Alumni Association and the
Douglas College Foundation moved
offices, then the Centre for International
Education, and now Community Programs
and Services.

Why all the shuffling?

"Additional space," says Facilities Manager
Terry Leonard.

Most of that space is in recently completed
offices in the North Wing opposite the
Performing Arts Theatre. Besides providing
more room, the new area also allows depart-
ments with scattered operations to combine
all personnel in one area.

CP&S, now in Room 4011, formerly had
offices on both the first and second
floors. One of those vacated offices, Room
1300A, now houses the new BCGEU
space.

"We'll miss our friends in 2300, but look
forward to getting to know our new
neighbours," says CP&S Director Margaret
Mahan.

Some of those neighbours include the
Alumni Association, formerly beside
Switchboard, now located in Room 4002,
along with the Foundation (which for-
merly shared space with Facilities). The
new location increases the visibility of
these departments and invites more
walk-in traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boxed In and moving out. Evelyn Roy of CP&S prepares to
move during her department's fourth-floor shift In July.

Having offices in the same area has also
improved communications between Tad
Hosoi, Manager of International Educa-
tion, and Program Assistants Jan Gara and
Taeko Berwick. The new space in Room
4006 also allows students easier access to
resource materials.

Phone numbers will remain the same for
all departments that have moved. CP&S
along with Alumni/Foundation and
International Ed will be hosting an Open
House in September.

Who's moving next? We will keep you
posted. A
