While assuaging the "institutional" aspect of their former descriptors, I think that the new names for the campus center meeting rooms are off the mark. Most rooms elsewhere on campus that have a designation other than a basic building and room number have been named to take note of an individual who has contributed to the campus community in some significant way. These "place" names in the Campus Center seem wholly out of character with that tradition. In addition, there are three "Falls" rooms with one, Taughannock, that challenges the familiar and the unfamiliar alike as to its proper pronunciation.

I must say I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the Campus Center's meeting spaces will be that much more welcoming and will exhibit a new personality. I'm especially delighted by the fact that student artwork will be used in all of the spaces.
I think our entire campus often lacks character. Naming rooms and places in honor of patrons is nice, but I don't think the personality of the campus should suffer until a worthy name comes along. CHS, CNS, ET, WT, T1-T12, all three dining halls ... the list goes on. At least now it'll be a little easier to differentiate between the Seminar Room and Conference Room. I also think if you are living in Ithaca, part of the experience is taking in all the natural beauty around. Pronunciation is not a good reason to exclude one of the most gorges natural wonders in the region. Good work Campus Center! You've made one alum happy.

While I welcome an alternative to the North Meeting Room (Taughannock Falls
room) for larger group meetings, I think it would have been nice to expand Grande Central Cafe at the expense of a few seats in the new, Ithaca Falls room. During busy times, it's elbow -to-elbow in Grande Central; an uncomfortable situation for both staff and customers.

I'd prefer the TVs...
