... along. Yes, the complete renovation of the Gregorian Lounge on the second floor is coming along. While everything was ordered in May, much of the furniture has yet to arrive. Still, substantial progress has been made. A new paint and carpet scheme, selected by the out going Hall president and vice presidents, has been implemented as well as something else, something that has brought much rejoicing. The Hall's new Keurig coffee machine. Using its touch screen, Stedsmen are able to make coffee drinks from lattes to cappuccinos, hot coco to just regular plain black coffee, and almost anything else that their hearts desire. Yup, you guessed it. This machine has made morning commutes and rising, late night studying, Folgers at Four and so much more, better, AND it's all free. On the arrival of new coffee machine, Jack O'Leary, Steds senior and former Hall vice president who helped guide the renovation, declared, "Firm handshakes, warm cups of specialty coffee, and an appreciation for the cutting edge are what you find in St. Edward’s Hall. The blue paint, more comfortable work spaces, and new coffee machine really enhance our beloved Gregorian Lounge, and I am excited to see it all in action, especially on Friday’s!"
