Huge changes coming to PBA dining

Even though I am graduating (I feel I may write about that fact everyday) I was privileged to be on the Student Government this year and was chosen to participate in a student committee concerning PBA on-campus dining. The contract with the previous dining company expired and PBA has decided to go with a new company, Aramark. This means HUGE changes to the on campus dining experience, which I am frankly jealous of. PBA has four places in which a student can get food on campus.

Two of these places, Common Ground Café and Jazzman’s Café, are being completely altered. CG, which is located in the Green Complex for Sports and Recreation, will be replaced with the favorite fast-food restaurant for the PBA student body, Chick-fil-a. Yes, you will be able to ‘Eat Mor Chiken’ on campus next fall! Jazzman’s, which is located in the Warren Library, will be renovated into an Einstein’s Bro’s Bagels. Both of these options will allow for more delicious freedom in the meal plan and for commuter students who eat on campus.

The Cafeteria will also be undergoing a much needed renovation and $1.3 million face lift. The Caf will feature the Fresh Food Company and will offer uninterrupted dining all day from 7am until 10pm during the week. The meal plan, which will remain the same cost as now, will be altered to allow unlimited access for either 5 days a week or 7 days a week. This way if a student only wants to grab a cup of coffee and a banana, they do not have to waste a meal swipe. The main part of the Caf will be the FFC. This will be located in the center of the Caf and will offer food created with the ingredients you request right in front of your eyes. This will allow for more healthy options than the regular cafeteria food.
