The Wendell H. Murphy Center Dining Hall, at Carter-Finley stadium, provides an alternative dining experience for students looking for a break from main campus’ dining options.

According to University Dining’s website, the Murphy Center is open for lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Jennifer Gilmore, marketing and communications manager for University Dining, said the Murphy Center’s menu is comparable to other dining options and accepts the same University-offered tenders.

“The menu can be compared to what is run at the other three dining halls on campus,” Gilmore said. “We take AllCampus, Meal Plans and Board Bucks. It is set up exclusively for the campus community.”

Gilmore also said the Murphy Center dining hall is open for lunch because of the athletic department’s compliance with NCAA regulations.

“The NCAA allows athletic departments to have one meal a day reserved only for athletes,” Gilmore said. “Our athletic department chose dinner as their training table meal. Since lunch is not considered a training table meal, the Murphy Center is available to all students for that meal period.”
