The Wireless Age will join Campus Dentist and La Bio Hair Boutique as the third tenant of the empty bay in Lower Place Riel that was formerly home to the Campus Cove games room.
The Wireless Age will provide Sasktel cell phone, television and Internet plans.
Campus Dentist specializes in providing dental services on university campuses across the country. The student unions of the University of Waterloo, McMaster University and the University of Guelph have all welcomed Campus Dentist into their student centres.
Services that will be provided by Campus Dentist include checkups, teeth whitening, cleanings, fillings and wisdom tooth extraction.
La Bio Hair Boutique is a privately-owned hair salon.
The University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union chose the three businesses based on a 2003 survey that asked students what services they desired most on campus.
The USSU decided that any medical services that wished to come onto campus would have to be part of the Health-Care Network so that students would be able to use their student health plan.
Any proposals from food vendors were rejected because of the already high number of food services available in Lower Place Riel.
The businesses are expected to move in during December and open for business when school resumes in January 2013.
