The bookstore at UConn Health is back in business, no longer as the UConn Co-op.

Barnes & Noble College is the new operator of all the university’s bookstores. The UConn Bookstore at UConn Health opened earlier this month. Additional inventory is expected to arrive over the course of the next several weeks.

The company says it will lower the student expenses by offering an expanded selection of used, rental, and digital materials, matching prices, and continuing textbook buyback periods. It says the UConn Health location will offer a range of medical, dental and life science merchandise and supplies.

UConn’s agreement with Barnes & Noble College includes contractually guaranteed minimum revenues to the university, which will be devoted to student financial aid and student support.

“We look forward to excellent service, increased affordability of academic materials, and robust community engagement on the part of Barnes & Noble, which runs hundreds of campus bookstores across the nation,” said UConn President Susan Herbst in her announcement of the deal to faculty and staff April 27.

Barnes and Noble also agreed to hire the Co-op’s staff at current salary levels. At UConn Health, that includes longtime store manager Matthew Marrotte and supervisor Susan King.

“We’re committed to being a complete support system on campus for our students, faculty and staff — providing the right solutions to drive affordability, access and ultimately, academic success,” Marrotte says.

The bookstore was closed for three days to make the transition.
