Reamer Dining Hall featured in Food Management magazine

The newly-renovated Reamer Dining Hall was featured in Food Management magazine. The publication highlights trends and best practices, products and solutions that connect deeply with the noncommercial foodservice professional.

The dining area on the second floor of Reamer reopened in time for the new academic year. The space had been closed since February, when a broken sprinkler main flooded the northwest section of the building. The first floor auditorium also suffered extensive damage and renovations are ongoing.

Initial plans called for routine repairs to the damaged dining hall. But then it was decided to move forward with more ambitious improvements for a space that opened in 1987 and had begun to show its age.
