Coupa Caf\u00e9 will not be open for the start of winter quarter, and the kiosk that once held MoonBean\u2019s Coffee will remain empty until mid-February \u2013 at the earliest.<\/p>\n
The site remains vacant due to continuing negotiations over the building permit. Accommodating Coupa\u2019s food service required retrofitting the MoonBean\u2019s site, as well as meeting county regulations for food preparation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe permitting business all has to do with expanding the food service at the kiosk,\u201d said Andrew Herkovic, director of communications and development for Stanford Libraries.<\/p>\n
Stanford is currently awaiting word on its latest permit application. When a building permit is issued, contractors are then expected to take five weeks for construction at the site. Coupa Caf\u00e9 will then need time to dress and finalize the site following construction.<\/p>\n
\u201cAssuming that the latest negotiation will satisfy the county, we are looking at mid-February [for an opening],\u201d Herkovic said.<\/p>\n
If permit negotiations extend longer, the Coupa opening could be delayed even further.<\/p>\n
According to Herkovic, as of Jan. 5 an automated espresso machine will be available in Meyer Library. Herkovic said the machine was \u201cnot a solution,\u201d but that its presence would serve some of the needs of students, particularly during late-night hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
