HOURS/DAYS FOR NOW
Hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. With the return of more students to classes after the summer break, expanded hours are planned for weekends through the fall semester.
There will be five, 15-minute quick stop parking places available for customers in UM’s Lommasson parking lot.
ABOUT RISE+ROOTED
Rise+Rooted historically served as a place between class, work and home where students could study, meet friends, attend small events or spend time between commitments. It was designed to offer a comfortable, localized, and sustainable campus space, featuring espresso and a hardwood stage for events.
The Starbucks space will continue to include communal seating, a performance stage and Rockbot, a music platform that allows guests to request songs played in the space.
