The A.S. Print Shop moved to its new location behind the Cesar E. Chavez Monument over the summer, but the shop's manager said the Print Shop could be homeless by next summer.
The university plans to tear down the Cafeteria Building and construct a new wing for the Student Union, said Paul Lee, manager of the A.S. Print Shop.
"We are trying to spread the word so people will look for space for us," Lee said, "because the university might do something rash and say, 'Hey, we don't need the Print Shop.' Then, where are students going to go?"
Originally, the Print Shop operated out of two locations: one in the Industrial Studies Building and another unit next to Burger King.
Lee said the Print Shop had to move out the Industrial Studies Building because of construction.
At its new location, the Print Shop is able to combine both operations into one unit, making it easier for staff and students to work, Lee said.
"We didn't really try to be nice to the students before because we didn't have the space for it." Lee said.
Meagan Watson, a sophomore animation and illustration major, said that the old location was easy to find.
"It's not that bad. It would have been really bad if they moved it across campus," Watson said.
Pedro Hernandez, a sophomore accounting major, said he thought he will use more of the Print Shop's services in the future.
"So far, I haven't encountered any problems," he said.
At 1,800 square feet, the Print Shop's new location is approximately three times larger than its old space next to Burger King. Lee said a 3,000-square foot space would be ideal.
Along with the move, the Print Shop has switched to recycled paper and added amenities such as work tables for students to work in a more efficient way.
