or the Future
2. Preservation and Renovation
• Foyer and Courtyard Corridors
There are areas of the Theta house that require extensive
work. Special funding will be needed to accomplish this.
These areas are on the first floor, where the women gather
to recruit, socialize, study and dine. The projects are listed
below in order of priority.
Refurbish the foyer—the first impression for visitors—and
update the wall treatments and area carpet in the corridors.
•Dining Room
Replace 1960s-era tables and chairs; bring seating capacity
up to 96; replace vinyl flooring and install under-table
outlets to accommodate computers; remove 1960s-era
ceiling tiles; and upgrade lighting, wall and window
treatments.
•Living Room
The main gathering space has not been touched
in 12 years. A professional space planner will
guide us in needed furniture selection and the
best design for this large hospitality space so
that seating space is increased.
• First Floor Educational Spaces
Repurpose the conversation room to create a group study
room and to create more study options in the study parlor,
the library and the reading room alcove. Included will
be increasing lighting, electrical connectivity for all
spaces, and updating of some furnishings, carpet and
wall treatments.
