The iconic bright orange, yellow and green chairs scattered on the Memorial Union Terrace every spring and summer returned Wednesday, setting up the summer for movies, music and food, including a new concession stand.
The terrace will open the new concession stand, named “The Gazebo,” in late May or early June and will serve sandwiches, salads and other food.
The terrace will also feature free movies Mondays and live music five nights a week, in addition to its numerous food options, according to a university release.
Construction on the union will continue throughout the summer, but will be minimal on evenings and weekends, according to the release.
While the exact date the chairs were first used on the terrace is unknown, they appeared in photographs dated before 1938, according to the terrace’s website. The chairs will remain outside until late fall.
