Signs of Progress

This past Wednesday after many comments and suggestions from students, we placed directional signage in the Atrium!  Now when you enter the Atrium you are met with two options: go forward to dine at Delirious, Zen Blossom, Wolfpack-To-Go or Brickyard Pizza and Pasta or turn left to get in one of two lines for Chick-fil-A.

As we were hanging the signage, we heard many positive comments.  We hope that this instruction will solve some of the congestion issues that many of you voiced in the Atrium Satisfaction Survey.

Let us know what you think by commenting on this post or by commenting on our Facebook page!

New Atrium Venues and Menus Revealed!

Drum roll please…University Dining is thrilled to announce the lineup of Atrium Food Venues and Menus for the grand opening on January 10, 2011.  University Dining chefs and staff have been working tirelessly to create a delicious menu of varying items that will allow food court patrons to get “fresh food fast!”

Delirious: A delightful play on the word “deli,” Delirious will offer diners the ability to add their own toppings, then have the attendant add the greens and dressing of choice for a custom tossed salad. Diners can also chose from a selection of wraps, plus a wrap-of-the-day. Selections will include grilled chicken Caesar, turkey club wrap, ham & cheese wrap, vegetarian spinach wrap, vegetarian wheat wrap, BBQ chicken wrap, and BLT wrap.

Zen Blossom: Fresh-rolled sushi (California roll, Hawaiian roll and tekka maki roll), Asian salads, vegetable egg rolls, rice, fried rice, noodles, and a rotating menu of appetizing wok creations, including beef & broccoli, sesame chicken, sweet & sour chicken, dragonfire beef, zesty pork, General Tso chicken, sweet chili shrimp, and vegetable lo mein.

Brickyard Pizza and Pasta: A wide selection of personal pizzas, breadsticks, and garlic toast, plus a rotating menu of tasty pasta dishes. Pizzas include: pepperoni, cheese, meat lovers’, veggie, and supreme. Rotating pasta dishes include chicken Alfredo, baked ziti, cheese ziti, chicken with mushroom ravioli and vodka cream sauce, tortellini with sausage and smoked gouda sauce, and chicken cacciatore. Breadsticks and garlic toast will also be offered.

Wolfpack-to-Go: Look for a wide variety of pre-packaged fresh items: sandwiches, salads, pitas, wraps, parfaits and other items for when you are on the go but still want something great. These items are made with minimal condiments so they can be dressed according to the diner’s taste.

Chick-fil-A: The new Chick-fil-A will be twice the size of its old location and will now add the spicy chicken sandwich to its lineup.

Where are the Waffle Fries?

If you’ve taken your lunch break lately at the Atrium, chances are you were expecting to find Chick-fil-A’s iconic waffle fries.

The crispy, golden-brown goodness of Chick-fil-A’s waffle fries will not return until January.   But why?

Chick-fil-A’s strict operational requirements dictate that the fryer can not be located more than 20 feet from the serving area. Currently, the kitchen and prep areas for the Atrium restaurants are located about 50 feet away from the serving area.

Waffle fries will return in January, when the new Atrium concept debuts. As a matter of fact, the new Chick-fil-A will be twice the size of the old space and feature four fryers to keep up with the demand!

Although, waffle fries will be temporarily unavailable, there is a tasty fry alternative available.  Check out the new fry station located in between the Wrap Bar and the Chick-fil-A serving areas.  The alternative may not be waffle-shaped, but they still have the potato goodness you expect from a fry in every bite.

At Your Service

The Atrium is NOW SERVING!  The temporary serving area located on the right side of the Atrium opened Monday at 7:30 a.m.  Now serving Chick-fil-A, a variety of fresh pre-made wraps, and Li’l Dinos subs and salads, students can grab a bite and sit and eat in the air-conditioned Brickyard Bubble.

Patrons will have access to the Atrium Dining Hall from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, except during University breaks. The Brickyard Bubble, the temporary seating area, will also be open daily during these hours.

Updates on the Renovation

Freshens Smoothies and Yogurt is expected to open after Labor Day in September.  Freshens will be celebrating the relocation with grand-opening festivities, including free tastings and coupons.  If you’re in the Brickyard craving a frozen treat, stop by the Creamery serving Howling Cow Ice Cream,  inside D.H. Library.
