The Caltech Store reopened on Monday, July 24, after moving to its new (albeit temporary) location on campus—in the lobby of Millikan Library. The move was made to allow for the demolition of the existing Winnett Student Center and the subsequent construction of a new campus hub, the Hameetman Center, on that same site.
Current plans are for the Caltech Store to be part of the Hameetman Center's retail space when the building opens in the fall of 2018.
"Student Affairs would like to thank the offices of the president and provost, Development and Institute Relations, and the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering for allowing us to use their respective spaces during this transition period as well as for their patience during the construction phase," says Joe Shepherd, Caltech's vice president for student affairs.
The Caltech Store's new operating hours will be 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
