Following up on my slightly tardy “giant Starbucks opens at Emory” post yesterday, TODAY is the actual day that Emory will open its massive new bookstore along Oxford Road.

The Emory Report did a piece on the new building a couple weeks back – including the following video, which gives some internal shots of the space.  The article quotes campus architect Jen Fabrick saying “The building was designed to provide important functional services for the University, but also to provide an active interface between Emory’s campus and the surrounding community,”

While the bookstore will primarily serve Emory students, faculty and staff, the Emory Report says the new B&N  “will offer an increase in titles, Emory merchandise and product offerings for customers.”
