Historical Note

The University of Wyoming Bookstore was established in 1921 and was originally housed in the Arts Building north of Old Main. By 1960 the Bookstore had outgrown the space in the Arts Building and was moved to Ross Hall, and then moved again in 1973 after the renovations to the Wyoming Union were completed. The bookstore still sits in that location today. It serves the UW campus by providing textbooks and course materials, art and lab supplies, UW-licensed gifts and apparel, commencement regalia and office supplies, along with being an Apple authorized campus store. The store underwent a re-brand in 2013 and is now called the University Store in order to reflect its broad range of services. In 2021, the store celebrated 100 years of service to the University of Wyoming community.
