Reimagining The Coop
Planning the renovation of the historic bookstore began more
than one year ago, and despite the disruptions presented by the
COVID-19 pandemic, construction was completed within eight months.
Barnes & Noble College partnered with The Coop on the
renovations and managed the operations of the bookstore. The $6
million renovation will provide a better, more exciting customer
shopping experience and includes new flooring, lighting, retail
fixtures, a community event space as well as new heating and air
conditioning systems, and a new elevator. Harvard Crimson is
prominently displayed throughout the store as well as graphics of
historic moments in Harvard University’s history that give a fresh,
new look to The Coop.
The three-story, 28,550 square-foot building was built in 1924
in the Colonial Revival style and now features a wide selection of
high-quality Harvard-branded apparel and merchandise as well as
textbooks, trade books and school supplies.
Founded in 1882 in a student dorm in Harvard Yard, The Coop is
one of the oldest and largest college bookstores in the United
States. The bookstore is open 8am - 9pm Monday - Saturday and 10am
- 6pm on Sunday. For more information on the bookstore, visit The
