ENLARGE AND REPURPOSE LANGUAGE LAB
The language lab and storage closet will be redesigned to facilitate more study spaces with
today's students in mind. The current Language Lab will be converted into a multipurpose study/
sleep area that is fully accessible.
ENHANCE PRIMARY POINT OF ENTRY
The entrance most utilized by our members does not provide adequate visibility or functionality.
An addition with entry into an expanded dining room will be welcoming to members and guests.
The new member entry will have a canopy that matches the architectural design of the area.

The EVOLUTION of KU STUDENT HOUSING
EXCELLENCE
S
tubbs Mansion has been part of Nu Chapter's
legacy since 1922, marking 100 years of Sigma Nu
ownership. Built in 1907 for Kansas's governor, Walter
Roscoe Stubbs, it was designed by state architect John
Haskell and featured a private lake, woods, a ravine,
and grassy lawns.
If you have been to Lawrence recently, you know that
a lot has changed downtown and on campus. The
way students live and learn today is far different from
our experiences from as early as just 10 years ago.
With those changes, the competition for students and
their housing dollars has increased, making it more
difficult to attract and retain members, especially when
coupled with the location of Stubbs Mansion.
In the past decade, housing options for KU students
have changed dramatically. Our competing fraternities
have made significant improvements to their
houses. Many dormitories have been renovated to
entice students to live on campus, and off-campus
apartments are tuned in to what modern students
want: hotel-like amenities, proximity to campus, and
flexible lease terms.
