FRESH LOOK, FRESH CONCEPTS

The Heilman Dining Center officially reopened in August after being closed for several months for renovations to modernize the space and address the evolving needs and changing tastes of today’s students. While many food stations were rebranded and expanded, the renovations involved the addition of several new options, including Plant Life, which boasts a plantbased menu, and Fare, geared toward those with special dietary needs. Upgrades also included new tile, cabinet fronts, countertops, lighting, and video menu boards with dietary icons to help students navigate food allergies.

“It’s a new beginning here at HDC,” said Tyler Betzhold, executive chef. “It’s a clean, refreshing space that fits perfectly into the University’s mission of wellness by providing comfortable spaces for our students to unwind, socialize, and just enjoy.”
