From parking garages to a brand new student center, it seems as though Western Connecticut State University has it all. The new student center is located on the Westside Campus, Lake Avenue Extension. The Center will provide a game room, cardio fitness center, meeting rooms, activity space, lounges, and overall a huge welcome mat for students and staff alike to be apart of the great university. Word has it that this is just the start of new renovations at Westconn.Today's events at 3:30 p.m. will include, Gov. M. Jodi Rell, James. T. Fleming (CT Dept. of Public Works), Lawrence D. McHugh (Board of Directors for CSUS), Dr. David G. Carter (CSUS chancellor) and many local officials.

I believe my last comment did not go through, I will try to do it again. I enjoy reading about all the things going on in the city of Danbury and this is one I will attend today. As a long time Danbury Resident I've appreciated the change not just WESTERN CT has done over the years but all business, schools, developments alike. It is good to be a conservative society (maintaining old traditions and ways of life) but we shouldn't be afraid of change especially in such a developing world.
I agree with oletimer32, the University has been a great asset to Danbury and I think its great it keeps growing and improving. This kind of change is good for our City.
