A new Dunkin Donuts will be coming soon to the Dinsdale Family Learning Commons.

On May 11-14, the print collection of 25,000 books will be returning to the lower level of the Dinsdale Family Learning Commons. The returning collection is a core selection of materials that was determined through researcher usage and curriculum analysis to support East Campus programs and interests.

In addition, Dunkin Donuts has been selected as the café vendor to provide beverages and snacks in the new learning commons.

Bryce Bares, owner of the Dunkin Donuts franchise located in the Adele Hall Learning Commons and soon to be in Dinsdale, looks forward to serving the East Campus community.

“We are honored and excited to be a part of the renovated Dinsdale Family Learning Commons and to continue our partnership with the University Libraries,” Bares said. “We look forward to providing great tasting coffee and donuts to the students, faculty, and visitors on East Campus.”

Construction will commence this summer with the opening of the Dunkin Donuts anticipated for the fall 2021 semester.

Updates about the services and programs for Dinsdale can be found on its webpage. Questions about these projects can be directed to Regina Flowers, learning commons and event coordinator.
