The new three-story, 46,000-square-foot Barnes & Noble Collegiate Superstore at Rutgers University has opened on Somerset Street. The New Brunswick Patch reported the bookstore "is next to a walkway that leads to the New Brunswick Train Station from Somerset Street, which also opened this past summer. The store is accessible from the walkway, which leads to the southbound platform of the station. Both are considered part of the Gateway Transit Village project that also includes the adjoining 'The Vue' high rise apartment complex."
Chris Paladino, president of the New Brunswick Development Corporation, "said the new store will also play into a redevelopment project of College Avenue that will completely renovate the campus between Bishop Place and Hamilton Street," the Patch noted. A grand opening is scheduled for September.
