Pulse coffee shop opens in Burge Union

Students have a new option for satisfying java cravings; a Pulse coffee shop celebrated its grand opening Wednesday in the Burge Union.

Pulse coffee shops are located in four areas on campus: the Kansas Union, the Underground, the Studio in Hashinger Hall and now the Burge Union.

The new location was supposed to open last fall, but the project ran into construction delays.

“We had so many comments from students, faculty and staff asking for a Pulse on that side of campus,” said Alecia Stultz, assistant director of retail dining services. “They all wanted their specialty espresso drinks.”

KU Dining Services received suggestions from the Athletics Department and engineering, law and post-doctoral students about adding a new Pulse location, Stultz said.

Anthony Sands, Raytown, Mo., senior, plans to use the Pulse in the Burge, because it is located along his daily route from the Student Recreation Center parking lot to the engineering building.

“It’s a good location,” he said. “A lot of people park in that area, and it’s close to the dorms.”

The Pulse is on the first level of the Burge. Customers can use the couches, tables or computer stations in the Collab lounge, which also includes ResNet offices and an information technology help desk.

The Pulse in the Burge is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
