Please sign this petition in support of having a new common room installed in Albany Park. The petition will be handed to the University to prove there is huge support for this project within the hall.
While Albany Park is a fantastic hall it does have one fatal flaw and that is the lack of common space. The most we have is a repurposed bike shed with no windows and very little floor space. We would like to fix this through the construction of a new common room that will more accurately meet our space needs and perhaps more importantly have plenty of natural light. This is where you come in; by signing this petition you are showing your support for this building and bringing us one step closer to us getting it. You don’t have to be an Albany resident to sign.
I have been hearing from so many residents about how isolating it feels to be trapped in that dark bike shed when we all just want a proper place to gather. I am currently putting together a formal proposal for the university office to show them exactly how vital this space is for our mental health.

Seeing this level of support confirms that I am not the only one tired of trying to build a community inside a windowless bike shed. This momentum proves that we belong in a real space designed for us to actually connect.

I used to live there and hated how cramped it was. Would have been so much better with a proper common room.

About time. Living in a shed is a joke.

The bike shed is literally a dungeon. We need somewhere halfway decent to actually hang out.

Totally agree. Nowhere to go to meet people in the hall. It builds no sense of community.
