Located in Litchfield Towers, the revamped space is a modern take on the dining hall — a fast-casual concept with made-to-order menu items and seating configured to promote social opportunities. Common seating areas also serve as gathering space for movie nights, game-day watch parties and even karaoke.
“The Eatery is more than a place to grab lunch; it’s a place designed to facilitate connection between diners,” said David DeJong, senior vice chancellor for business and operations. “Our goal is to enhance the student experience by creating places of community.”
