A new campus coffeehouse is scheduled to be developed in the West Wing basement of Sanford Hall, with an anticipated completion date of August. A main entrance with an awning will extend out the side of Sanford, towards the large parking lot. Outside seating will also be available in the adjacent courtyard. The Coffeehouse convenience store will feature basic housekeeping supplies for resident students, health and beauty products, prepackaged foods, soft drinks, candy, and of course, coffee. The coffee area will provide various flavored coffees, cappuccino, espresso, as well as a pastry selection.
Fresh sandwiches are also a possibility.
The coffeehouse is intended as a gathering place for students, faculty, and staff. The facility will be located on the Napier Hall lawn, leaving the portion of the lawn closest to Clarke Street as green space. Lighting for night play and seating areas and tables are also planned. Dr. Bruce Harshbarger is vice president and dean of students. Other articles in the special issue focus on topics such as the region's textile industry, climatology, geomorphology, and changing demographics.
