“We are excited to provide a new dining option for our campus community," said Glenn Loughridge, director of Campus Dining. "The move to change the food court into a dining hall is in direct response to the input we received from our students.”
Under the new system, meals will be able to be purchased in a couple of ways:
- Students will continue to purchase meals using their declining balance plan via their Tiger Card, cash or credit card at the posted gate price.
- Students will have the option to purchase new dining plans that include blocks of meals that will provide a volume discount off the gate price.
The renovations — part of Tiger Dining’s new contract with Philadelphia-based Aramark — should be complete by the fall 2018 semester.
While Panda Express will remain open through the spring semester, it will close for the summer and will reopen in Foy in the fall.
Other restaurants currently within the War Eagle Food Court including Salsarita’s, Mama’s Chicken and Biscuits, Terra Nova Salads and AU India will all be closing and replaced by the new dining hall, offering everything from salads to desserts.
