The waffle fries are returning. But now, there’s going to be even more choices.

When students return to campus from winter break, the Atrium will be functioning in a different manner. The serving area, as it was planned, will open, officially, on Jan. 10 for breakfast. However, for a few students, there will be a sneak preview on Jan. 9, where they will be allowed to taste everything except Chick-fil-a.

Students will be able to taste food from Delirious, which will serve wraps and salads, Zen Blossom, serving Asian food, Brickyard Pizza and Pasta, which will have a rotating pasta menu and Wolfpack-to-Go, which will have even more options, according to Kitty Lewis, University food service director.

“We are really excited for this part of the Atrium to open up,” Lewis said. “It’s taken about 2 years of planning to be at this stage.”

The atrium will be larger, in order to accommodate the higher population of the University, according to Lewis.

“There’s going to be an expanded Chick-fil-A,” Lewis said. “There’s going to be two serving stations, and both are going to have waffle fries. When we reopen, we’re also going to have the Spicy Chicken sandwich.”

The new dining choices are a result of a campus wide survey conducted prior to the beginning of the Atrium renovation. All the dining locations in the Atrium are University owned, except Chick-fil-A, so dining can change the menus based on student response, according to Lewis.

Lewis said Zen Blossom will have fresh sushi and three stables every day. The other menu items will rotate. As will all the University owned locations in the Atrium, the rotating menus will be based on a weekly basis

Students who win a Golden Ticket from one of the C-stores, will be able to bring a friend with them to the sneak preview on Jan. 9. The rest of the student body and anyone else interested in the new Atrium will have to wait until 7 a.m. Jan. 10 before entering. The Atrium will be open until 4:30 p.m. through May.
