[UBC crest] As early as 1960, renovations were made to the ground floor to provide a games room, lounge and cafeteria. By 1964, the noon hour was "strained to the limit". Options under consideration at that time included limiting membership or seeking additional accommodation elsewhere on campus. Members opted instead for a major expansion and the architectural firm of Erickson-Massey designed a 350-seat dining room on the lower level. The "Erickson wing" opened in 1968 at a cost of $700,000 for which members paid through higher dues and a temporary surcharge.
