The store’s expanded selection of apparel and accessories features updated designs and a variety of options, with plans to include more conservatory-specific items in the near future. 

“The Campus Store is all about serving the needs and interests of our students, and our new location and new partnerships with UGS and eCampus.com allow us to bring this access closer to the center of campus,” says Vice President and Dean of Students Karen Goff. “Our students love Azariah’s and the vibrant community and connections they foster through Terrell Library’s Academic Commons. The Campus Store expands upon and adds to the great energy in the space.”

Azariah’s and the Campus Store are separated by a transparent partition, which accommodates their differing hours of operation and lends an open feel to the space while allowing natural light into the store. In addition to its permanent home in Mudd Center, the Campus Store will host pop-up shops at signature campus events, bringing gear and other items closer to event sites.

Relocating the Campus Store frees up the former bookstore space on College Street, which will be redesigned as a hub for Media and Integrated Arts studies in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Responding to Student Input

During the Campus Store design process, Student Senate leadership participated in feedback sessions with 91ֱ��’s Office of Facilities Planning and Construction. They discussed suggestions and concerns regarding placement, environment, and accessibility.

Among the students’ priorities: ensuring that seating at Azariah’s remains plentiful. Updated seating options now expand beyond the doors of the café and into the Academic Commons.

Another student request: more charging stations, which are now in place throughout Azariah’s and the Academic Commons.

“The Student Senate appreciated the opportunity to contribute,” says Lily Gonzalez ’26,  Senate President for 2025-26.

“The committee members were receptive to hearing our feedback,” adds Gideon Hurtado-Sher ’28, Senate’s Vice President of Student Life. “I’m excited for the new and more accessible textbook options.”

Just outside the doors of Azariah’s, in the “Readers’ Row” area of Terrell Library, new high-top tables will join iconic mid-century modern furniture arranged in groups to invite socializing. Books by 91ֱ�� authors and popular magazines are now displayed in Readers’ Row, with additional periodicals relocated to the bound periodicals section of the library.

Numerous upgrades to the Academic Commons were also completed over summer: new carpet, furniture, a relocated Reference Desk and CIT Help Desk, and the addition of new “Duo Pods”—curved study carrels that seat two.
