Walls came tumbling down at the Florida State University Oglesby Union Wednesday. It marks the first phase of demolition before construction begins on a 300,000-square-foot student complex.

The new $100 million building is expected to open in 2020. Meanwhile, services and programs will continue. Union employees will relocate to temporary spaces around campus, including Doak Campbell Stadium and the Thagard Building.

The new four-story building, which students helped design, will feature glass walls, modern technology and open outdoor seating.

Highlights include a new food court, Club Downunder, Crenshaw Lanes, the Art Center and space on the west side for Market Wednesday.

There also will be a bigger FSU campus bookstore, new ballrooms and meeting spaces.
