Abstract

The Husky Union Building is one of the leading meeting and event spaces on the UW Seattle Campus. Being the Student Union, our primary goal is to deliver a dynamic event center in which students, staff/faculty, and the UW community can come engage in meetings and events that advance the Husky Experience. With social and physical distancing guidelines that will continue to be desired by event planners and their attendees, the HUB Meeting Spaces need to shift to meet the needs students, staff/faculty, and campus partners. Currently, there are built-in streaming capabilities in only half of our meeting rooms. Additionally, the HUB has seen an increase in demand for streaming capable equipment and technical assistance well before the COVID-19 outbreak. We would like to provide these opportunities for all students who use our rooms. This technology would allow students to either virtually bring in a presenter or attend a meeting that that would be over capacity. We simply want to meet this demand so we can continue to provide meeting and event spaces to the UW campus community. The HUB hosts a wide variety of engagement opportunities for students. We support events in which students can display research, engage with future employers or attend lectures and events pertinent to their field of study. These opportunities to exercise the skills they are learning in the classroom and further develop transferable skills via their co-curricular activities is critical to a well-rounded academic experience.
