Students may have noticed the space that used to be the Idaho Commons Bookstore has been turned into the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences and General Studies offices.
ASUI President Hannah Davis said they will only be there temporarily because their wing in the Administration Building is being renovated.
She said they had focus groups last year to see what students would want, to get ideas of what was going to take the bookstore’s place.
“We still aren’t sure what will go in, but it will be what the students want and something they could easily use,” Davis said. “It is student space and should be used for the students.”
The most popular results from the focus groups were a smoothie bar or a local food co-op, she said, as well as a coffee shop where smaller bands could come in and play.
