One campus eatery, Scrubs Café, has reopened today (June 4), while another is preparing to close for lengthy renovations.

The Silo — including Spokes Grill, Crêpe Bistro, The Gunrock and Peet’s Coffee — will be closed after Friday, June 14, the last day of finals, for construction work, some of it major (new roofing, seismic upgrades), some of it less so (new doors, epoxy flooring in the kitchen). The $2.9 million project is expected to last into early 2020.

Are you a fan of Carl’s Jr., Pizza Hut and Taco Bell on campus? Your last chance to frequent those eateries is this Friday (June 16) — because, not only are they closing for the summer, but they won’t be back in the fall.

In fact, all of the Silo will be closed for a remodeling project this summer. But you’ll still find four or more food trucks outside, all summer long.
