The newly renovated Hamiltons will be serving food on the first day of classes. Here is your schedule for where and when to eat leading up to the opening of Hamiltons:

  • Friday, Jan. 17 - Sunday, Jan. 19
    • Meal plans begin at dinner on Jan. 17.
    • DK’s (Pearsons) will be serving all food.
  • Starting Monday, Jan. 20
    • Hamiltons (Powerhouse) opens as the new all-you-care-to-eat location, using swipes from the campus meal plan.
    • DK’s (Pearsons) will be available on weekdays, using flex dollars from the campus meal plan.
    • Commons in Chapin Hall is closed permanently.
  • See specific hours for food service
  • Faculty and staff are welcome to eat at either location, paying either by credit card or by adding Turtle Bucks to their ID card.
