New Editions to FAU are Popping UP!

There are two new editions to our lovely university that I have just recently discovered.

First off the Boca Raton campus is getting a Dunkin Donuts! Yes, after spring beak this year we will return to have a Dunkin Donuts in the S.E Wimberly Library. This is already generating buzz, because with the Starbucks being a ways from the Library students had to pack up all their materials walk over to Starbucks and then turn around, walk back to the Library, and hope that they can still find a work space to study. Now all you have to do is take a walk to the next floor level!

The Boca campus is also receiving an elaborate gift. We are getting a new cinema complex on our campus. However, this cinema will not show the newest block buster hits; it will be showing new and old independent and documentary films. This cinema is being made possible from the $1.5 million donation from Living Room Theater's Inc...This complex will feature, classrooms, a cafe and four theaters. The total amount of this project is $3 million, meaning that the other $1.5 million is being granted to FAU from the Courtelis Capital Facility Enhancement Challenge Grant Program.

This theater is scheduled to be completed and up and running towards the end of the year 2010.
