CCSS Office threatened by coffee shop plan

Student Society officials were surprised this spring when Camosun College Administration informed them of plans to force them out of their Lansdowne offices in the Library building to make way for a new coffee shop on campus. This despite a memorandum of understanding between the CCSS and Camosun that guarantees the space to the Student Society. 

The College has temporarily offered the use of Richmond house offices as compensation which failed to satisfy student leaders  because it is far from the centre of campus and would be a huge reduction visibility for the CCSS. The parties have since entered into negotiations to reach a mutually agreeable settlement on building issues. This process may result in the student society constructing or renovating space where the Hully house currently located between the library building and the Dawson building.
