Brown, Executive Vice Chancellor\u00a0 for Finance, Operations and Information Technology. \u201cUTC is no exception and we strive to offer our students, faculty and staff the absolute best dining experience on-campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the changes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Panda Express and a Steak &#8216;n Shake will be added to the Scrappy\u2019s Food Court in the University Center. Scrappy\u2019s Mug will be renovated and become a Provisions on Demand (POD) Market with Starbucks replacing the existing Java City. The project will be complete by the start of the Fall 2017.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Crossroads, the all-you-can eat dining location, will undergo a complete renovation, including additional seating both inside and out. Along with Crossroads\u2019 current offerings, new choices will include a\u00a0produce market, a sandwich shop, a Mongolian grill, breakfast, pizza and a bakery. The project is set to begin in\u00a0Summer 2018 and be finished by the start of Fall 2018.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The new West Campus Housing will open in Fall 2018 with several new dining options, including\u00a0an Einstein Bros. Bagels and a POD Market. Dippers, which features\u00a0a\u00a0variety of Southern fried and grilled chicken options also will be in the residence hall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Beginning in the Fall 2018, freshman students living on-campus will\u00a0have four flexible meal plans from which to choose, including enhanced Mocs Bucks, exchange meals and guest meals. Sophomore students living on-campus will be able to choose any freshman plan or a more flexible plan exclusively with Mocs Bucks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Also beginning in the Fall 2018, junior and senior students living on-campus will no longer be required to purchase a mandatory meal plan. Flexible voluntary plans, as well as the mandatory plans available to freshman and sophomores, will be open to these students if they choose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food service on the UTC campus is undergoing several changes, including new restaurants, new facilities and new choices in meal plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2017\/04\/new-eateries-meal-plans-coming-utc-campus\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":16964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,7712,7290,661],"tags":[48364,620,7697,48363,37901],"class_list":{"0":"post-16942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus","8":"category-faculty-and-staff","9":"category-student-servicees","10":"category-students","11":"tag-crossroads","12":"tag-food","13":"tag-meal-plans","14":"tag-restaurants","15":"tag-west-campus-housing","16":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
