Indian Quad Dining Room - Exciting changes!

The Indian Quad Dining Hall renovation, which began in May 2008, is based on Chartwells' Pulse on Dining lifestyle approach to higher education dining environments. The prior dining room, kitchen and servery will be transformed into a comfortable and personalized dining experience.

The final outcome of the year-long renovation project can be described as:

  • Healthy
  • Flexible
  • Positive
  • Comfortable
  • Fresh

The renovated Indian Quad Dining Room will provide a variety of seating options that include:

  • Comfortable television lounge area
  • Community dining tables
  • Quiet study nooks
  • High counter and booth seating.

The following six interactive platforms will be located in the dining area. These platforms are designed to meet student's dining expectations by focusing on fresh foods, quality products, varied menus, and personalized customer service.

THE KITCHEN  
This open view platform will serve grilled foods, entrees, specialty and ethnic foods. Also featured in THE KITCHEN will be made-to-order grilled items and exhibition cooking displays.

 

MyPantry  
Representative of a home-style kitchen, MyPantry will provide students the opportunity to create "make-it-yourself" snacks and small meals. MyPantry will offer a daily selection of cereals, breads, pastries, fruits and juices. The center island will feature made-to-order smoothies and grilled items.

 

freshmarket  
Similar to a market-place salad bar, this self-service platform also includes high counter seating so that students can view the center preparation island where salads, condiments, fresh vegetables and fruit will be prepared. Also available at the freshmarket will be homemade soups, assorted cheeses and deli meats.

 

BAKER'S CRUST  
The BAKER'S CRUST is similar to a neighborhood bakery of cafe and is an open-view, interactive platform that will provide fresh baked breads and desserts.

 

the SPOON  
the SPOON is a limited seating area that can be used for full-service or fast, casual dining experiences. It can also double as a faculty dining area or be reserved for private functions.

 

 

 

Mongolian Grill  
This focused concept provides a retail-like platform where students can mix and match ingredients to create their own personalized entree. In additon, a variety of grilled foods and deli sandwiches will be made-to-order. High counter seating is also located at this platform so that students can enjoy watching the food preparation activities which will also be broadcast to monitors located in the dining area through a live-feed camera.
