Union dining changes to be voted upon later this month, installed in August ByErkUgatta Reporter
To increase variety, options and space, the Union will experience an overhaul before this fall. The plan is to "rip it out" and "start over," with an anticipated opening day of Aug. 10, said Mike Paulus, director of Dining Services. The project would be self-funded by Dining Services and would not raise student tuition. The Falcon's Nest will be completely renovated and three new venues will be added, he said. A dining advisory board, consisting of 25 people who reached out to 642 students to vote, selected the top three choices the students voted for, Paulus said. The top three were Chick-fll-A. Papa John's and Panda Express, which may replace Wendy's, 2.Mato 2.Night and Zona Mexicana, respectively. Wendy's contract expires in May, Paulus said. The three venues are not yet official, he said.
