The intersection of Sixth and Green streets is receiving a facelift courtesy of a brand-new retail center being built by JSM Development.

This company is responsible for several apartment buildings such as Green Street Towers and other commercial properties in Campustown. The new building, which is named Campus Center and is due to open on Sept. 1, is going to be home to a Noodles & Company and other retail business.

Jill Guth, JSM Director of Development, said the company has been attempting to expand on this corner for several years.

“We have been negotiating with the city for years and we decided to develop the Wendy’s corner,” Guth said, referring to the restaurant that was torn down last month to make room for Campus Center.

Guth said the two-story building will have 9,000 square feet. Noodles and Company is scheduled to be on the first floor and will take up 2,500 square feet. Guth said she thinks the restaurant will attract a variety of people.

Guth said Noodles & Company will appeal to the community as a whole, rather than just students.

Guth said the building is going to be entirely retail. She said she is not sure if the space will include stores in addition to restaurants, but the renters that will be there will be different from any other retailers on campus.

“The Campus Center will specialize in retail that is non-existent in town,” Guth said.

Guth said she feels University students will welcome the Campus Center. She said the building would offer a fresh variety of stores and eateries and students would welcome the idea of having a new center that offers something different.

Julia Neville, sophomore in LAS, said she thinks Campus Center will be beneficial for the students on campus and provide a new alternative to shop and dine.

“I think students could gain from having another place where they would enjoy the food or the atmosphere. People can always use new restaurants on Green Street because some people are really getting tired of others,” Neville said.

Safia Jurgens, senior in LAS, said the Campus Center will present students with more options.

“I feel the campus has a lot to offer and they can afford to expand it. I do not see how having more opportunities could be bad for Green Street or the students,” Jurgens said.

Jamie Henry, sophomore in ACES, said the Campus Center will not only be a benefit to students, but she also thinks Green Street as a whole will not suffer due to this new establishment.

“I feel that all the businesses on Green Street get enough customers to stay in business. I do not think one more store would overcrowd the street,” Henry said.

Guth said she is optimistic for the new development and feels it will be a success.

“We are very excited about our location in the middle of Campustown, and we feel we will receive a great response from the people,” Guth said.
