Guest Post: What’s New at the Dining Centers?
Welcome back Iowa State students! This school year we have many new and exciting changes occurring at the dining centers that I am thrilled to tell you about! The new Friley Windows dining center is officially open, which is located below Friley and can be entered on the east side by Lake Laverne. It features stations offering trendy foods including international flavors, homemade pizzas, comfort foods, and vegan and vegetarian items. Go visit and try the homemade garden pizza for a vegetarian favorite! Another change occurring this year is a new all-day breakfast station at UDCC. Stop by for a made-to-order protein-packed omelet to keep you full for a busy day!
Additionally, Conversations dining center hours are changing, so breakfast and Late Night meals will no longer be available. Instead, Seasons and Friley Windows will offer Late Night food items from 7 pm to 10 pm and 11 pm, respectively. With the new unlimited meal plan, this will be the perfect opportunity to grab some fruit or a small dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth at night! Another perk of this meal plan is that you don’t have to “get your money’s worth” and load up on full plates of food. Instead you can have smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Finally, Storms Dining has started offering hot entrees for lunch, along with the salad bar, deli sandwiches and flatbreads, and desserts. If you’re over by the Wilson and Wallace Towers, stop over and enjoy the hummus bar, which offers two types of delicious hummus. Pair it with fresh, crunchy vegetables to get a fiber boost! We hope you enjoy your dining adventure this year!
