The University Bean, a temporary food and beverage cart, is scheduled to be packed away by Oct…. The University Bean, a temporary food and beverage cart, is scheduled to be packed away by Oct. 15 for the reopening of the newly renovated Cup & Chaucer Café.

Located on the ground floor of Hillman Library, the look of the new café area remains a mystery because the remodeling site is sealed off by floor-to-ceiling white sheets. An advertisement for the new eatery exhibits what students, staff and faculty may look forward to.

The renovations boast more seating and a larger menu.

Pitt spokesman John Fedele said that renovations would include new wall and floor finishes, new furniture, electrical outlets and free wireless service. There will also be a new raised stage area for small performances.

The remodeling leaves limited space for studying. The renovation plans moved library materials and bookcases included in the old Cup & Chaucer design to elsewhere in the library. The lack of tables and seating for students to complete their work could cause future problems, but as of right now, Fedele said no problems have been reported.

The renovations are on schedule, Fedele said. He also said the temporary University Bean cart has decent business. Because of its size, however, the menu selection is limited.
