Students, faculty, and staff welcomed its first Starbucks Café onto the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) campus in August of 2017. The newly constructed 1,154 sf space replaced the previous coffee shop located on the main level of the University Center also known as UCen.
The 19six team provided vigilant coordination throughout the project starting with demolition of the existing space, new mechanical, plumbing, electrical systems, to the final finishes. 19six’s professional team worked hand in hand with Starbucks, UCSB, and their Environmental Health & Safety Department (EHS) to ensure the new café would surpass all food service requirements and provide a functional, safe, and welcoming space for employees and patrons.
