Coffee shops on college campuses are now a well-known entity. The aesthetics are usually of the Starbucks-inspired variety— warm colors, comfy seating and dim lighting. Not the case with 12,700-student Vanderbilt University's year-old Last Drop Coffee Shop, located in the Sarratt Student Center. Camp Howard, director of dining, says he wanted to create a distinctly different experience with the location. "We were looking for something to replace a frozen yogurt concept that was under-performing," Howard says. "It just so happened that we worked very closely with the director of student centers and he had some ideas on re-purposing some of the space. That department created an area where students could watch radio and TV interviews [that were being conducted] through glass. That inspired us to do something a little different with our space."
