or Muncie, the new coffee shop downtown is a place to buy homemade coffee and tea. But for owners Frank and Lauren Reber, it is the start of the next chapter of their lives. Frank, a Ball State alumnus, opened The Caffeinery last week with his wife, who co-owns it. He said they decided to put down their freelance work as a photographer and a sound engineer for the stability of owning a business. “We both grew around small businesses, and I couldn’t imagine myself working a 9-to-5 job,” Frank said.
Lauren’s parents owned The Music Room and Frank’s family owns Reber Machine and Tool Company in Muncie. The Caffeinery, which gets its name from being both a coffee and tea shop, is not the first in Muncie. But Frank hopes it can become an unofficial tourism beacon for Muncie. He said he would like it to be the first place new visitors to the city come to learn about all the small downtown area has to offer. “The first thing I do when I go to a new city is find a coffee shop,” he said. “If it’s a good shop, the people in there will know the area.”

People concerned by blocked off parking spaces in the Emens parking garage have nothing to worry about, said the associate vice president of facilities. Over Spring Break, the university did maintenance to the third floor of the parking garage. Currently, several parking spaces on the first floor of Emens parking garage are blocked off and a tarp covers the ceiling. The tarp and blocks are just precautionary, said Kevin Kenyon, associate vice president of facilities. “It’s out of an abundance of caution, so patching materials and debris from prep work does not fall on the cars,” he said. “They can be removed shortly after the material cures.” He said blankets were added
Flooded entrance from broken radiator so that the concrete could stay warm as it cures, which is when concrete is kept from drying too quickly. The curing process helps keep the concrete become stronger and bond, keeping it from being able to crack easier. Kenyon said since the repair was near an expansion joint, it’s more likely that construction materials will leak through, which is why the tarp is there. “Nothing is falling apart or about to fall down that is part of the structure,” he said. The work that was done was routine maintenance because of typical wear and tear on the structure, said Ryan Koenker, facilities assessment coordinator. He said the tarps were installed March 14. 1.
