First Glance

After months of furious renovation work, an energized Stauffer-Flint Hall opened its new front doors—now facing Jayhawk Boulevard—Jan. 21, just in time for the start of spring-semester classes. Along with sorely needed upgrades to the 121-year-old building’s structure and systems, the new ground floor now features an open-plan lobby flanked by a broadcast and podcast studio and the Susanne Shaw Student Media Center, all of which can be used as teaching and study spaces during the day and University Daily Kansan and KUJH-TV production space in the evenings.
