Schine Renovation

We bet you’ve seen (and heard) the construction happening at the Schine! It’s undergoing a major make-over that will wrap up Fall 2020. Think new student org space and dining center! You’re also probably aware that different offices and the Box Office have moved. If you need a refresher, here’s a helpful cheat sheet:

  • The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Disability Cultural Center are now located in 548 Bird Library.
  • The Schine Box Office is now located in the Women’s Building, Suite 118/119.
  • All other offices are located in the Women’s Building.
  • The Bookstore and Goldstein Auditorium will remain open throughout the renovation.

Since Schine Dining is also closed, Food Services has made some changes this year as well. Here’s some highlights:

  • Dunkin’ at Kimmel Food Court will open at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays.
  • All other Kimmel Food Court options will open at 11 a.m. and continue to be your late-night food option.
  • Campus cafés will carry extra grab-and-go food items.
  • You can now order from a campus café through Grub Hub!

You can always check the Food Services website for updated information and food court hours.

New Dining Center Hours

Great news, friends! Food Services has shifted their hours at Brockway and Shaw for students with late classes. Breakfast will start 30 minutes later, and dinner will last 30 minutes longer. You can find the updated hours on the Food Services website.

For students who have late classes but can’t make it to Brockway or Shaw, here are some helpful tips:

  • Use a meal swipe to fill up a reusable to-go container earlier in the day and keep it in your (or your friend’s) mini fridge to reheat later.
  • Use SUpercard FOOD, cash or credit at BBBistro, Goldstein Student Center, the Junction Snack Bar, Kimmel or Pages Café.
