== The Java Barn ==

In 1992, Payson Hall was renovated into SLU's admissions building. A new venue had to be established, and the new venue was an old barn located behind 5 University Avenue, one house up from where the current students were living. The house became the Coffee House, and the barn was known as the Java Barn. Operating between Fall 1993 to Spring 2006, the Barn's ___location was popular due to its proximity of being on the border of the SLU campus, near the town center. This brought about some interaction with the community, and students enjoyed the distance from the main campus and their studies. <!--However,-->

Line 13 ⟶ 12:

== The Winning Health Center ==

After many deliberations of where the 3rd iteration of Java would be, it was realized that the vacant WiningWinning Health Center seemed a natural choice for the relocation. The Health Center's ___location in the center of campus put Java far away from the possibility of neighbors complaining about noise, and it would be easy to reconfigure the building to suit Java's needs. In an interesting return to Java's original configuration as it was in the 80s as Payson CoffeeHouse, students would continue to live at 5 University Ave., and would make "the trek" to the Health Center for shows.

It should be noted that this ___location was originally proposed to be a temporary ___location, since the demolition of the Health Center & Artery buildings have been in the University's master plans for years. This demolition would ultimately create green space that was lost due to the construction of the Student Center. Whether Java is moved for a 4th time is still up in the air, as its ___location at the Health Center has proven to be very popular, and alterations of the Health Center might turn it into a permanent ___location.
