Restored Dairy Stools When Steve Conant was a college kid at UVM, he would often visit the Carrigan Dairy Bar to enjoy a 35 cent cone of UVM-made strawberry ice cream.
Had he known that some day he'd be restoring the very stool he was sitting on, perhaps he would have felt differently about them. In the 70's they were simply a place to sit and enjoy a moment's reprieve from one's studies.
Today, however, they represent the only remaining symbols of a day gone by.
The original building is gone and UVM no longer makes ice cream, but thanks to Conant Metal & Light, the stools are fully restored and installed for all to enjoy in the new Davis Student Center. Restoration included replacing broken springs and bearings, rust removal and the restoration of all chrome and painted surfaces. As a 'green' building, reuse was clearly the best choice
