Atrium Café Renovation Set for November, New Marketplace Serving Starbucks to Open in 2017

At the end of November, Au Bon Pain in the Clinical Center atrium will close and renovations will begin on a café featuring a Starbucks "We Proudly Brew" program. The space, scheduled to re-open in February 2017, will include a full line of Starbucks beverages, similar to the coffee bar in Building 35. The marketplace is part of a new contract with Eurest, which manages most on-campus cafeterias.

The marketplace is part of a 2015-2020 contract with Eurest, which manages most on-campus cafeterias. It will sell sushi, sandwiches, wraps, salad, soup, baked goods and beverages. There will be multiple cash registers and order lines, self-service kiosks and a more efficient layout to help customers order and pick up items faster.

During the renovation, temporary service will be provided in front of the current Au Bon Pain entrance. The seating area in the center of atrium will be shifted to make room. The temporary service will include hot coffee and tea; bottled beverages; assorted pastries and muffins; yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, and fruit cups; sandwiches, salads, and wraps; sushi trays; and sweet and savory snacks. No espresso drinks or other specialty beverages (e.g. smoothies) will be available.
