Campus Center Administration tracked the number of cancellations more accurately.
Campus Center Administration did not include any of the maintenance of rooms in the number of events as had been done in the past.
The PNC Room (CE 148) was offline for the majority of the Spring 2010 semester as a result of the Campus Center floor work being done on the first floor.

In 2009-2010, the number of Departmental events decreased and the Non-University Affiliate events increased with the creation of the Category C Nonprofit Organizations pricing plan.

Shutting down escalators when the building is not open to the public.
Reducing the number of student employees working on the weekends.
Continuing to hire students that are eligible for federal work-study financial aid.
Closed the Campus Center on Sundays during the months of June and July. Usage numbers and room reservations from the previous summer indicated the building had very low usage on Sundays during the summer.
