      A

      the

      only
      thus

      The

      promises
      to
      maintain
      the
     
     
      novel
      appeal
      that
      its
      pred-
     
     
      ecessor
      proudly
      boasted,
      as
     
     
      the
      proposed
      structure
      bears
     
     
      the
      uncanny
      resemblance
      of
     
     
      a

      Director

      ment
      Services,
      explains
      that
     
     
      it
      was
      designed
      so
      that
      it
     
     
      would
      look
      “new”
      in
      keeping
     
     
      with
      the
      energy
      of
      students,
     
     
      but
      that
      it
      would
      maintain
     
     
      consistency
      with
      the
      aesthet-
     
     
      ics
      of
      the
      other
      buildings

      SU
      President
      Matt
     
     
      Gray
      says
      that
      the
      sketch
     
     
      should
      be
      helpful
      as
      planning
     
     
      for
      the
      building
      continues.
     
    

    
     
      “It'll
      give
      a
      general
     
     
      idea
      of
      what
      it
      [the
      building]
     
     
      will
      look
      like
      for
      fundraising
     
     
      purposes,
      so
      people
      know
     
     
      what
      they’re
      supporting,”
      he
     
     
      says.

      “We'll

      Already
      $1
      million

      $2
     
     
      million
      more
      are
      needed.
     
    

    
     
      Gray
      says
      a
      “search

      starts
      in
      March,
     
     
      which
      is
      a
      search
      for
      a
      donor
     
     
      who
      will
      be
      able
      to
      provide
     
     
      the
      majority
      of
      the
      money
     
     
      towards
      the
      project.
      This
     
     
      building
      will
      be
      named
      in
     
     
      honour
      of
      this
      donor.
     
    

    
     
      The
      search
      will
      mainly
     
     
      target
