112 Chris ElvidgeThe underlying motivation of such a manoeuvre can only be profit. The excuse of health and safety is just that - an excuse. The way I see it, the administration could either raise fees or centralize services - not both. Blatant cash grabs are unbecoming of any institution.
113 Miljana HorvatWhy kill an excellent thing that has been going on for years? As an alumni and someone who spent quite a lot of time there during lunch hours when I was a student (and even celebrated my one of my birthdays there), I strongly oppose closing Architecture cafe. I often take this cafe as an example of succesfully run student business, when I am encouraging my students here at the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson to do the same thing: offer healthy food and snacks, excellent fair trade coffees and teas at affordable prices - as an alternative to University run expensive, greasy spoon fast food junk cafeteria. You have my full support! No pasaran for those who want to close it. Miljana Horvat, M.Arch, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Architectural Science Ryerson University, Toronto

117 Kevinweighing in the balance are the corporate, fiscal and normative (and thus predicatable) forces against a vibrant segment of student life that brings satisfaction to its stressed and hungry students as well as aiding local businesses. Personally, I don't enjoy the "corporate" food supplied on campus largely because of its price but also it usually doesn't taste as good and it seems ambivalent environmentally (too much packaging and paper and styrofoam). So, please don't cosume the architecture cafe- I believe the students have spoken and this is our school.

128 Guillaume Majeau-BettezI owe my survival and a large part of my happiness in the past few years to the architect café. If this wonderful, colourful and ethical student-run place is closed, McGill will indeed become a sad place to attend.
129 Erika Wasileskikeep the architecture cafe student run! it is a huge asset to the mcgill community and one of the most beloved places on campus.

140 Jamie GardnerArch Cafe is the only place left on campus that isn't sterile, impersonal and overpriced. It also offers the best food. Forcing it to close in favor of one of the large campus food services is a clear case of McGill selling it's students out for a profit.

143 tobias c. van VeenI fully support the student-run Architecture Cafe. It provides services that are lacking on campus: a non-commercial atmosphere; Fair Trade products; student-run business & employment; good prices, good food and diverse offerings; and friendly staff. Why the Administration wishes to shut down a student-run operation that provides 'real world' experience for students is beyond me and speaks only to the Administration's agenda of increasing corporatization of the University to the detriment of students.

145 Julia Del ReArchitecture Cafe at McGill is one of the best spots to eat at on campus, affordable and go food. How could they even think of replacing it with an overpriced Chartwells cafeteria?
