Aramark Collegiate Hospitality will replace Chartwells Higher Ed as 成人抖音’s Dining Services Partner over this spring break.

成人抖音, in partnership with Aramark Collegiate Hospitality, is thrilled to introduce “MB Home,” a groundbreaking dining initiative set to transform the culinary landscape for its students, faculty, and staff. Commencing on March 2 with a grand opening after spring break on March 11, MB Home will offer innovative culinary concepts and a refreshed dining ambiance, heralding a new era of campus dining.
The launch of MB Home will be celebrated with a grand Launch Party on March 11 at 11 a.m. in the Lyda B. Hunt Dining Hall. The event promises to showcase the culinary prowess of Aramark’s chefs through specialty stations like Caribbean cuisine and a homemade nut butter and jelly station, alongside swag giveaways to mark the new hospitality era.
鈥淎ramark Collegiate Hospitality is bringing new life to Hunt Dining Hall, the University Cafe, catering, and dining offerings across campus,鈥 said LaRhonda Johnson Horton, interim vice president for student engagement. 鈥淚 am excited for students, faculty, and staff to experience these changes in real-time and witness the ongoing improvements that Aramark promises to deliver.鈥
Hunt Dining Hall
Hunt Dining Hall will see a flurry of upgrades, including an expanded Stress-Less Station with custom-made hot dishes and a new pizza oven delivering better quality pizza. The Urban Kitchen offers a variety of international and classic cuisines, alongside The Market, which features an extensive salad bar and made-to-order deli dishes.
In addition to the new food available, the Dining Hall and University Cafe will receive a visual refresh. Digital screens will keep diners informed with real-time menu and nutrition information while new station branding and graphics modernize the dining ambience.
Innovative Cafe Dining Options
MB Home introduces three new offerings to the University Caf茅: Burger + Fries, Blue Ridge Bowl Smoothies, and the Food Lab (featuring innovative culinary creations that blend science and flavor).
