The Davenport Coffee Lounge

The Davenport Coffee Lounge Like a chapel, but for caffeine. The Dav began in ’57 when the SIS was founded. The room is named after Fredrick M.

Davenport (1866-1956) and was originally a chapel. When Kay Spiritual Center was completed, the Davenport Memorial Room served more as a space for community building. In the 1980s, after the Shah of Iran fell and other things in the world were amiss, SIS students found themselves lacking an appropriate space to sit, think, and discuss world affairs. The SIS student government decided to convert the Davenport Chapel into a Coffee Lounge, and the Davenport Memorial Room became the Davenport Coffee Lounge. The Dav is a non-profit student run organization, whose aim is to create a forum that enhances cross-cultural communication and forges bridges of understanding across communities in a friendly, harmonious and nurturing environment. Davenport brings students, faculty, staff and members of the community together in a unique and relaxing atmosphere where communication is facilitated, and ideas are exchanged in a friendly and constructive environment. The students are empowered to learn about service to the community, and the importance of caring and giving back. Teamwork, friendship, and cooperation are critical skills, which are transferred to the students, who in turn create compassion, loyalty, and commitment to serving the local and global community. From making at most three pots of coffee a day and offering hot water for tea, Davenport has come a long way, now offering a diverse set of chai latte specialty drinks, pour-overs, french presses, and locally made food options.
