The Board of Regents have approved two requests the food service systems on the Iowa State University and University of Northern Iowa campuses. I-S-U vice president Sean Reeder laid out the plans for a new dinning support center.
The projected cost of the new building is more than 37 million dollars.
The bakery and commissary will support more than 20 I-S-U Dining locations, including three marketplace dining centers serving more than 16-000 meals daily. I-S-U plans to demolish the Knapp Storms building once the new center is complete. Construction is expected to start in June 2027 and run through July 2030. U-N-I received permission for a 900-thousand dollar revision to its budget for updated the Redeker (Red-uh-ker) dinning center.
U-N-I vice president Michael Hager says there are three things they are adding to the upgrade.
He says they also need to move a large cooler to accommodate the renovation.
He says they are also looking at expanding the new flooring. Construction is scheduled for summer 2027, with a new budget total of more than four million dollar (4.3).
