University of Minnesota Hanson Hall Caribou Coffee

The Hanson Hall Caribou Coffee remodel project converted an existing Starbucks coffee shop into a new Caribou Coffee cafe. The project, though seemingly small, improved the overall experience for both faculty, students and staff at the facility by revitalizing the space.

Construction of the new Caribou Coffee cafe required a proactive and collaborative project approach. This included working with various internal and external project stakeholders and detailed coordination between project leaders. Our team’s familiarity with the University’s staff, requirements and protocols helped us deliver a streamlined coordination process that met brand requirements, NSF guidelines, and University expectations.
The project scope included new equipment, furniture and fixtures, as well as upgraded finishes and signage. Doors and hardware were replaced, and modifications were made to the HVAC systems as well.
