Food: Renovation is moving CSUF toward future
Continued from page 1,
House and Pub.
Round Table prices and menu
offerings on campus will be the
same as those at other Fresno
Round Table restaurants. The only
difference will be that the campus
restaurant won't accept coupons
because of its limited hours.
The Monterey Pasta Company is
making its debut on a college cam¬
pus with its fresh pasta. Prince said.
This is also the first time a col¬
lege will have two of the same res¬
taurants on one campus. In addition
to the Round Table restaurant in the
Pizza and Pasta Store, there is also
a Round Table restaurant opening
in the Court Yard located in the resi¬
dence halls. Prince said.
With the new restaurants open-
■ing and the old ones already here,
he said, "I don't think anyone in
California offers the variety that we
do."
Other food service areas on cam¬
pus have also recently been reno¬
vated.
The USU Food Court had its
grand opening Friday, Aug. 25 af¬
ter undergoing some major changes.
Although students can get the same
food in the Food Court, the atmo¬
sphere is very different.
The Food Court still has.Sub¬
way, China Station and Taco Bell,
but USU Director Joel Zarr says it
offers much more. v
"It's not only a better atmo¬
sphere, but a service that would be
fast food," he said. - "
Along with a new look, new
paint and new use of space, the
Food Court is supposed to help stu¬
dents get in and out faster. The new
design allows for faster service,
even during the busiest times.
Prince said the new place is "de¬
signed for students." He said the
service runs a thousand times bet¬
ter while the traffic should be 35 to
40 percent better.
The eating area has also been
remodelled. With new furniture and
carpet, it's a differentplace for stu¬
dents to go to and.relax and eat, Zarr
said.
Student Anissa Daniel said, "I
think it looks a lot better. I think it's
great. We need to see more things
like this."
Pete Ruiz who works at the
China Station said he also liked the
changes. He said the area has a lot
more space to work in. "I don't
think they [customers] know how
much of a change it is."
Zarr said the rest of the USU wi 11
have more of an entertainment feel
to it with a laser video network, a
television xoom and many of the old
favorites like the bowling alley.
But the renovation of the Food
Court is only phase one of what is
going on with the whole USU.
Phase two is the changing of the
area next to the USU which used to
provide central bike parking near
the USU. Under construction right
now, it will be an outdoor, park-like
setting in late April or May. The
new setting called North Court Park
will be a new place for students to
go-
The third and most significant
phase of the renovation is the con¬
struction between the Kennel Book¬
store and the USU. The third phase
won't be completed until August
1996
When it's done, iLwill be a "mini
mall." Called "The Pavilion,"it will
connect the bookstore and the USU
on the ground level while housing
up to six retail outlets.
Right now, Zarr is soliciting
businesses for the outlets. He has
talked to banks, sweet shops, ajew-
elry store and a pretzel shop. Just
"things that create traffic," he said,
is what he is looking for.
* The retail area will also offer
additional seating to accomodate
the overflow of customers from the
Food Court area.
Another addition is that built-in
benches Will be placed around the
outside of the Pavilion, Zarr said.
The new Pavilion area will also
cover the elevator with a 75-foot
clock tower.
Zarr said the new USU will be a
"nice centerpiece for the entire cam¬
pus to be proud of."
He said the campus' USU was
really behind compared to other
schools in the state, but with the
renovations, that is being changed.
"We're closing in on the 21st
century, and we need to move into
the 90s."
The USU construction cost is
$3.2 million. The construction
project ist>eing paid for with some
reserve money but mostly with
USU Bonds, paid over a 20-year
period. "Bonds don't create an in¬
crease in Student Union fees," Zarr
said.
No big deal...
(if s only your future.)
