Commons becoming CENTRO?

 
Plans have emerged from Hospitality Services on rennovations that will happen to Commons (see below), as well as renaming to "CENTRO". A Facebook group has started protesting the name change. Read more and discuss in the thread started in our forums here.

That's better than the name they decided on back in 06 or 07 (can't remember).. It was going to be something like Agora? Some word that apparently meant marketplace. Just hope they keep those sweet tunnels.


...and I really don't miss the meal card days at all! Home made food ftw!

I don't know... centro sounds pretty awful to me.

Sounds like what they'd call a gas station on the Jetson's, just my opinion...

The name isn't as nice as Commons, but the sketches look nice. I will definitively go there once it's done.

10 bucks "Centro" is miss pronounced by ~50% of the student body.

And shouldn't it be: "Il Centro" anyways? It sounds weird without the article...

In my opinion, visually it looks amazing. Also, Wok This Way-- that's cute.

It's Italian so it should be pronounced "Chen-tro"; but my suspicion is it will be pronounced by most people "Sent-tro".

Will they be increasing prices because of this? They're already high enough.

I don't imagine they will. They've been saving for this for awhile now.

"Centro" sounds like a robot to me. AWESOM-O, anyone?

You don't know that. It could be Spanish too, in which case, "Sent-tro" is fine.

Since we already have "La Piazza" I assumed this was part of a theme.

Also, there is far more "Italian" style food offered than there spanish or mexican food.
