SUNY DELHI

The new Barnes & Noble Café at SUNY Delhi transformed a mail room adjacent to the main campus bookstore into a coffee destination. The goals were to provide increased visibility for Barnes & Noble, establish a social and study space for students, and create a café in Farrell Hall for the whole community.
