The bidding process for the Coffee House’s renovation and expansion took longer than expected, so the CoHo is staying open a few extra days in the Memorial Union's west wing, through 4:30 p.m. Aug. 12, before shutting down for a year.

Several parts of the operation will move to temporary quarters in the MU's east wing. As for a place to sit down while you eat, the Griffin Lounge on the MU's first floor has been outfitted with tables and chairs.

Opening day for the east wing food stands is set for Aug. 17, CoHo Director Sharon Coulson said. The east wing CoHo will not duplicate everything that you can get in the real CoHo, but Coulson said she and her staff will do their best — considering they will be in temporary quarters and working out of a temporary kitchen (in a modular building outside the MU).

Here is what you will find, and where you will find it, in the east wing, come Aug. 17:

Pizza — In the space formerly occupied by the post office. The post office has moved to the Smith Room on the MU's second floor. The PO boxes are still on the first floor, outside the STA Travel office, down the hall from the former post office.

Convenience market — In the book buyback room, across from the former post office. The book buyback room moves down the hall to the MU’s East Conference Room.

Deli — In the space formerly occupied by Classical Notes-Campus Copies. The notes shop moves to 21 Lower Freeborn Hall (across from the barber shop). The copy shop moves to 13 Lower Freeborn, replacing AS PAPERs (Associated Students Providing Alternative Publications Equal Resources). AS PAPERs goes to 1230 Haring Hall.

Bakery and coffee bar — In the space formerly occupied by the Aggie Student Store. The student store will not be in business in 2009-10. The bookstore’s Corral shop remains.

Espresso bar — In Room 163 (the old, old post office).

The CoHo plans to set up a grilling tent on the south side of the MU. Coulson said the tent crew will serve tacos (with grilled chicken) and grilled corn on the cob. In addition, the tent staff may prepare tri-tip sandwiches on Fridays.
