A new cyber caf茅, Food 4 Thought 2, has opened in Bowman Hall on the 麻豆影院 Campus. The cyber caf茅, which offers several healthy options, such as whole-wheat wraps, salads, soup and more, is one of the many positive results from campus-wide renovations. The first Food 4 Thought cyber caf茅 opened in White Hall on the 麻豆影院 Campus in 2007.
Micheal Bruder, director of design and construction in the Office of the University Architect, explains that 麻豆影院 State President Lester A. Lefton was in favor of the renovations to further improve students鈥 experiences on campus.
鈥淭he president supports a vision for a campus that is comfortable and inviting for students and that promotes scholarship and friendships outside of the classroom,鈥 Bruder says. 鈥淗e strongly supported and took an active role in the corridor and lobby improvements to Bowman Hall to improve the students鈥 experience in this busy building.鈥
Bruder says that the caf茅 was created for Bowman Hall because of its central location on campus and how it complements the now-modernized building.
鈥淏owman Hall is a particularly busy building that hosts many 麻豆影院 core classes and so is visited by nearly every student at one time or another in their time on campus,鈥 Bruder says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to provide a space that accommodates the large numbers of students before and after classes, and encourages them to work together on group projects or just to study. It鈥檚 part of providing an environment that promotes student success.鈥
A team of architects and engineers from the Office of the University Architect worked to design the caf茅 and guarantee that it met the needs of the vendor.
Greta Siler, Food 4 Thought 2 manager, says that operating plans began during the summer, and she was happy to open the caf茅 in November.
Siler says that the caf茅 has been successful, and she plans to build her success with increased marketing and advertising.
