Java History
![Picture](/uploads/1/1/8/5/118582996/published/img-2786.jpeg?1667435106)
The Java Barn is a student-run music venue at St. Lawrence University that was established in 1993. It is a well-known venue among touring bands all over the United States. We have hosted bands such as Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Goose, Dave Matthews Band, Gym Class Hero's, Oompa, Derek Trucks and Twiddle.
In the early-mid 1980s, there was a popular folk music scene, especially in northern New York state. A group of students at SLU who were interested in having live music at the school, petitioned and established a coffeehouse in Payson Hall, one of the school’s buildings. They lived in a dormitory at 3 University Avenue, and thus the Theme House was created. Shows typically took place on Friday and Saturday nights and the tenants routinely made the 10-minute “trek” between their residence and Payson to facilitate the shows.
In 1992, Payson Hall was renovated into SLU’s admissions building. A new venue had to be established, and student Jamie Schapiro (’94) spearheaded the search and co-founded the new coffee house. The chosen candidate was an old barn located behind 5 University Avenue. This would prove convenient, as the new residence and venue was one house up from where the current students were living. The house was named the Coffee House, and the barn was christened as the Java House and later named Java Barn. Operating between Fall 1993 to Spring 2006, the Barn’s location was popular because it bordered the SLU campus and was near the town center. This brought about interaction with the local community, and students enjoyed the distance from the main campus and their studies.

Towards the end of the 90s, the nature of shows at Java began to change: louder, amplified rock gigs replaced the quieter acoustic folk concerts. Because of Java’s proximity to the Elm St. neighborhood, a petition was delivered to President Sullivan, protesting the loudness of the Barn. After much deliberation between the members and the administration, it was decided that Java would have to be moved. This new location would be the Winning Health Center, about 50 feet from the Payson Coffeehouse. To commemorate its closing, Java’s annual festival, “Java Jam” would be the Barn’s last show. On May 6, 2006, the Ryan Montbleau Band was the final artist to play in the venue, and the Barn was closed forever. The barn now hosts a campus thrift store called "Barn Good Thrift Store".

After brainstorming the possibilities of Java’s future home, the Winning Health Center seemed a natural choice for its 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. Students would continue to live at 5 University Ave. and would make “the trek” to the Health Center for shows.

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. The University decided to tear down the Health Center Venue in 2010, and that year the Health Center venue housed its final concert.
After the closing of the Health Center venue, the University relocated Java to an old biology lab on the south side of campus, next to Brown Hall. The Java house of 2010 painted the characteristic inside of the venue in bright, psychedelic colors and patterns. Currently, shows happen on either Thursdays or Saturday nights. There are 12 members who live in the same theme house and put on every aspect of the show. Come show some Java Love!

What is Java Love?
We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive space for every single student on this campus and the greater community. “Java Love” is a phrase we use in the house everyday and something we make sure to bring with us everywhere. Java Love means that it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you are welcomed and loved within our venue. Our space allows people to be uniquely themselves without the anxiety of backlash. Come as you are, come groove, come love.
