New Campus Facilities
Our students requested dining facilities that pushed the envelope, and we delivered. This fall marked the debut ofMapleStreet Station, a mixed-use facility which includes a variety of separate eateries each featuring themed cuisine and an eating experience reminiscent of a casual dining restaurant.
