The main dining room, known as the Varsity Room, is nearly the size of a football field. Once renovated, it will seat just over 1,100 at one time.
Through the renovations, the campus will be able to offer a variety of foods and healthier, fresher food options through an expanded deli, salad bar and international grill.
