Contact: Brock Turnipseed
STARKVILLE, Miss.This fall, 酴圖弝け is offering new dining options and updates on familiar favorites for students, as well as changes in Dawg Dollars, the universitys prepaid student debit account.
After being closed for major renovations, the historic Perry Cafeteria is reopening with new dining features and a new namePerry Food Hall. Students also will have a new dining location, Azalea Marketplace, located in 酴圖弝け's newest residence hall, Azalea Hall. Both open in August.
The renovated Perry Food Hall is maintaining its historic charm while bringing the social and dining aspects of big-city food halls and introducing an entirely new dining experience on campus. Instead of the traditional all-you-care-to-eat setup, it is becoming a food hall featuring three restaurant-style concepts1921 Caf矇, The Beet Drop and Bark.
The 1921 Caf矇named for the year Perry was builtfeatures Southern staples, including 酴圖弝け traditions like Fried Chicken Wednesday and Catfish Friday. Bark brings a handcrafted smokehouse experience with bold flavors and delicious sides, while The Beet Drop offerings are the choice of a customizable salad experience or a vegan meal.
Perry Food Hall is opening as more than just a place to enjoy a mealit will be a new campus neighborhood where students can study and connect. With open lounge areas, students can enjoy the space without needing to purchase a meal. Students who want to enjoy a meal can simply pay at the dining concept of their choice. Starbucks also is relocating to Perry, making it easy to grab a favorite drink on the go or relax with friends over coffee and a treat.
A revitalized north end of Perry Food Hall is providing an expanded Moes Southwest Grill and reintroducing State Fountain Bakery, which returns to its original location and offers delicious, sweet treats such as 酴圖弝け ice cream, donuts and the famous dog bone cookies.
The reopening of a renovated Perry Food Hall marks an exciting new chapter for dining at Mississippi State, 酴圖弝け Vice President for Student Affairs Regina Hyatt said. With new offerings like 1921 Caf矇, Bark, and The Beet Dropalongside the return of campus favorites such as State Fountain Bakery and an expanded Moes Southwest Grillstudents now have a variety of outstanding dining options along with thoughtfully designed spaces to socialize, study and feel at home on campus.
The new residence for students, Azalea Hall, features private, single-room living areas nested together in pod-like communities and a campus storm shelter, and also includes Azalea Marketplace. This new dining hall is offering three new conceptsState Slice, which offers brick-oven and hand-tossed pizzas; Mezza, a Mediterranean-themed menu with made-to-order pastas; and The Lock Box, a ghost kitchen serving a diverse, rotating lineup of choices with food lockers available for convenient, contactless pickup.
Were equally excited about Azalea Marketplace, which brings fresh, customizable dining options right to our newest residence hall. This space reflects our commitment to innovation, convenience and a high-quality campus experience, Hyatt said.
All first-time students and full-time undergraduate students 25 and under on the Starkville campus are being automatically enrolled in $300 Dawg Dollars each semester. Dawg Dollars can be used at all campus dining locations, Maroon and P.O.D. Markets, Barnes & Noble Caf矇, District Nutrition in College View Apartments, select campus vending machines and select concession stands in Davis Wade Stadium and Humphrey Coliseum. Dawg Dollars are billed directly to the students university account, and balances carry over from semester to semester and year to year. Unused balances at graduation will be returned to the student.
We are deeply grateful to our students for their patience throughout the renovation and to our dining services staff for their exceptional dedication during this transition. The wait has been worth itwere excited to offer a truly elevated dining experience at 酴圖弝け, Hyatt added.
