Students, Alumni satisfied with DUC despite crowds
Though hordes of students may at times test the Danforth University Center’s maximum occupancy limits, Washington University alum Katrina Marshall loves the building—and the crowds that come with it.
New DUC eating options offer more choices, less seating
As students pour into the newly constructed Danforth University Center and explore its various options for dining, they may discover that the seating area seats only about two-thirds of the people that Mallinckrodt Center could accommodate.
Makeover for Mallinckrodt?
While the Danforth University Center will attract a large part of the student body this year, fewer will pass through Mallinckrodt Center for a midday break.
However, with a loading dock, kitchen facilities, an expanding bookstore and the Edison Theatre, Mallinckrodt will remain as it is for the foreseeable future. Several Washington University administrators plan to meet within the next few months to construct a long-term plan for the campus center.
Going daffy for the DUC
After more than 10 years of planning, the Danforth University Center (DUC) has finally opened its doors. Though the long lines and problems with the DUC’s eating facilities will certainly cause students some headaches, this small problem does not negate the DUC’s ultimate success.
