What's New in Dining Services for Fall 2006?
We are very excited and ready to serve our First-Year class and returning upper class students! Hospitality Services at Rensselaer, run by Sodexho Campus Services, is much more than dining services on campus. We provide hospitality to the Rensselaer Community. Some new innovations and concept changes for this school year are:
» Newly opened Library Café, serving espresso, cappuccino, lattes and herbal teas as well as fresh baked goods, soup, salads and sandwiches. This is the "hot spot" for students between classes with comfortable seating on the far end of campus.
» Our on-site bakery, complete with its own Artisan bread baker, will offer European style breads and rolls in both our retail and resident dining facilities throughout the year.
» Our newly renovated Rathskeller provides the setting for a relaxed, comfortable setting with booth seating and great pizza at Fire and Spice, Sub Connection, Grill 155 and specialty wraps at Cyberwraps.
» Our coolest venue on campus is our unique Java++ Coffeehouse. This venue is a "Friends" style coffeehouse with soft seating, a fireplace, wireless internet and a stylish décor and color scheme! Enjoy your specialty java drinks, fresh baked goods and sandwiches while listening to soft music or watching the CNN on a flat screen TV.
» At the Commons Dining Hall we will be featuring Celebrity Chefs from local restaurants who will cook up specialty entrees such as Indian, Mexican and other ethnic foods including sushi!
» Visit our newly renovated dining room at the BarH cafeteria.
» Made-to-order omelet stations at breakfast in dining halls.
» We will continue to improve our Theme Cuisines exhibition style formats as well as our self-service Kosher, Halal and "Tofu Tim" vegan/vegetarian programs.
» Fresh Bytes concept at Sage Labs with gourmet sandwiches, entrees and salads to order and to go!
Remember, good communication is the lifeblood of our success here at RPI. We strongly encourage your daughters and sons to communicate their wants, needs and expectations to dining services. You can also e-mail us at anytime by visiting our website at hospitalityservices.rpi.edu. We look forward to serving your student and invite you to visit our Hospitality Services cafeterias and retail locations whenever you are on campus.
