A spacious 460 seat dining room provides typical daily meals, catered faire and special events throughout the academic year. Two private dining rooms are available for faculty and small group usage. The Servery, with its eight point server and grab ‘n go offerings is supported by a complete fullservice kitchen. It can be secured for after hour usage such as lectures, club meetings or other social events.
