FAIRMONT — Wrapping up a project over a year in the making, Starbucks officially opened on Fairmont State University’s campus Monday morning, joining recent additions Chick-fil-A and Chilaca at the Falcon Center.
The coffee shop’s opening was originally announced during a Fairmont State Board of Governors meeting last May, and construction and renovation at the Falcon Center has been underway ever since, according to Fairmont State University President Dr. Mirta Martin.
