Coke pops Pepsi ISU switches to Coca-Cola vending machines By Elizabeth.Polsdofer @iowastatedaily.com

The choice of Iowa State over the University of Iowa may be seen as a no-brainer for most Cyclones, but the decision of Pepsi versus. Coke is another question. Many Cyclones have returned from their summer vacation to find a new face across campus in dining centers and vending machines across campus. Iowa State is now the home of Coca-Cola products. While some die-hard Pepsi fans may view the switch to Coke products as a vendetta against their personal soft drink preferences, Warren Madden, senior vice president for Business and Finance, said the switch is about the numbers. “Pepsi has been the provider up until now,” Madden said. “So we got these bids back in, and it turns out the Coca-Cola bid financially appears to be a better proposal. They have a couple options, one of them in terms of the vending locations on campus and the places that are selling products. They had a component of that that is exclusive in a sense the only vending machines you would have on campus are Coca-Cola machines, and they would carry the variety of Coca-Cola products. The convenience stores located in the various dining complexes would still be selling products that are broader than just Coca-Cola.” Madden said soft drink contracts are something Iowa State deals with periodically. The purchasing department at Iowa State requests bids from soft drink companies to provide vending machines and soft drink dispensing machines in dining centers across campus. Also included in the bid are commissions for having Coca-Cola only vending machines and promotions such as free products for Iowa State during Veishea. A selling point in the Coke contract is the availability of state-ofthe-art vending machines from Coca-Cola. Madden said Pepsi’s unwillingness to upgrade their vending machines was a major factor in the decision to pursue a soft drink contract with Coca-Cola over Pepsi. “They’re in the process of converting from Pepsi to Coke,” Madden

Iowa State Center courtyard could get face-lift By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com The courtyard at Iowa State Center was the subject of Monday’s open meeting in 179 Scheman Building. Those present discussed conceptual plans and ideas for the future of the green space as well as the raised sidewalks around it. Members of the Sasaki Associates design team presented the plans and ideas.
The project is worth $2.55 million, and a site master plan is part of the project that will upgrade and enhance the courtyard area. The project will be focused on addressing the Iowa State Center’s deteriorating elevated walkways and enhancing the green space areas and courtyard, as well as improving accessible parking on the west side as part of a long-term master plan. Partial demolition and repairs are two options for addressing the walk-
ways. Handrail replacements that will comply with current safety codes are another option. According to the ISU News Service: “Updated — and more efficient — walkway lighting also will be included.” The Iowa State Center courtyard project was originally approved by the Board of Regents back at its June 6 meeting. The first open meeting was a couple of weeks later on June 18 in order to give key stakeholders and the public a chance to share what they
had envisioned for the space. According to the ISU News Service, landscaping, pedestrian and vehicular access as well as special elements including artwork will be part of the plan. Facilities Planning and Management is hosting the project and was in charge of the meeting on Monday. Check the Daily’s website for coverage and check Wednesday’s paper for an in-depth story on what occurred at the meeting.
