The council proposes increasing the budget for the New Student Union Building (SUB) Project from $103.26 million to $106.76 million. This adjustment, encouraged by the President and VP of Administration, aims to enhance operational efficiencies, collaborate on student services, and ensure sustainability. A $3.5 million contribution from AMS and a reduction in loan terms will mitigate financial burdens for students while fostering art installations and modern amenities. The initiative is backed by UBC executives and is pending Board of Governors approval.
