PHOTO BRIEF Renovations rally students
DELICIOUS DINING: The newly revamped Hecht-Stanford Dining Hall features new options such as “Pulse on Dining,” which provides healthy choices and a contemporary design. In addition to new dining options, an improved layout includes an athletic training table, which creates a space for athletes to share meals as a team.

The Food Court continues to undergo renovations, but is currently open on a limited basis. New venues include Pollo Tropical, Innovation Kitchen and Outtakes, a convenience store that off ers a wide selection of healthy foods.
