The FAMU Dining Hall in the Student Services Center has received a major renovation and upgrade in 2021 that brings a modern feel to the nearly 35 year old building.
Focal points of the updated space include a hydroponic system growing fresh herbs, a revamped version of its LiveWell station and a new concept dubbed Bravo that’s centered around exhibition cooking.
“The objective of the remodel was a refresh and update to the existing dining program that would make for optimum efficiency and more choices,” Jeffrey Kwolek, general manager for Metz Culinary Management, which oversees dining at the university. “The mix of large and small communal tables, comfortable booths, as well as a private back area that closes with sliding doors, is ideal for everyone from a small group of students enjoying lunch to a large sports team meal or even a faculty meeting.”
In addition to new services with under-counter refrigeration, the eatery is sporting new floors, digital signage, countertops and equipment.
The main dining hall is one of six campus dining options along with the recently opened HUB near the FAMU Towers and the Tookes Rec Center, the Orange Room, the Rattler Pit in Foote-Hilyer, the President's Dining Room, and the Starbucks in Coleman Library.
