The Student Center Satellite has been closed for repairs for most of the semester, leaving students with fewer places to eat and spend time with friends for months.
Monday, the Satellite partially reopened. The Starbucks, Smoothie King and C-Mart are back open for business, and students also have access to all the pool tables in the building. The restaurants in the other section of the Satellite, such as Chick-fil-A and Taco Bell, are still closed.
Students returned to the Satellite excited for its partial reopening. Many are anxious for the future of the building and for the rest of the Satellite to open back up.
