New Bookstore!

Hey everyone! As you come to visit campus, I hope you are ready to check out our NEWLY RENOVATED BOOKSTORE! Now that the construction has ended, it has become quite the place to visit on campus.

I remember visiting Miami is 2005 and wanting to go to the bookstore to see all the college gear that my potential future college had in stock. The bookstore was loaded with Miami material from t-shirts to blankets; sweatshirts to pennants; it was wall to wall Miami. Every time I visited the bookstore, it seemed like there was more university apparel (and textbooks of course!), but less room.

I remember making one last bookstore run with some friends the last week before graduation. It was funny to think about how 5 years earlier we had been standing in this same place at the end of our junior year of high school, wondering if this was the bookstore of the institution where we would spend our college careers.

And then it went under construction. The bookstore had always been serviceable, but we were told that the new bookstore would make us jealous that we were not entering Miami as first year students when it opened (we were already jealous of the incoming students because they got to spend the next four years at Miami). After seeing the newly renovated bookstore, I can’t help but wish this had been here when I was a student. It is magnificent, and I encourage all of you to check it out when you come to campus. The bookstore is in the Shriver center—the same site as Make it Miami.

These are pictures of what our renovated bookstore looks like.

Be sure that you stop by as you visit the campus to pick up your brand new Miami gear. If you visited in the late fall or early winter, make sure to stop by the next time you visit to see what your new bookstore will look like!
