Park Dining Hall


Food should be a fun, memorable experience for all. Our dining hall is arranged around destinations – action station areas that promote fun and excitement at everyday meals. Instead of all the food preparation occurring behind the scenes in a back kitchen, Fresh Ideas brings the action of a kitchen to the students. Food can be exciting, beautiful, tasty and fun – an experience to remember.

Thompson Cafe Dining Center is an all-you-care-to-eat venue offering a variety of menu options. Choose from the Chef’s Table featuring traditional home-style entrées or the grill featuring our Smash Burger concept. Trattoria features a build your own pizza station, and other Italian inspired dishes. Fresh Fusion is a plant based flexitarian station which features harvest grain bowls and homemade hummus. Enjoy our fresh salad display and build everything from a hearty entrée salad to a simple side salad. Fresh baked desserts, breads, cakes, cookies, pies and specialty items will be featured in the dedicated dessert space.
