Brock University Dining Services is set to start a new food service partnership with Aramark Canada Ltd. on May 1.<\/p>\n
The newly defined partnership prioritizes food quality, innovation and sustainably, and features a residence meal plan transition to all-access dining in the DeCew Residence and Lowenberger Residence dining halls.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrock University is committed to offering an outstanding student experience, and we know that a big part of that experience is the food options available to them on our campuses,\u201d said Brock University President Gervan Fearon. \u201cSelecting the next food service provider was not a decision the University came to lightly. It followed extensive consultation from stakeholders across campus including students, faculty, staff and student leadership groups.\u201d<\/p>\n
The result of the consultation set the foundation for selecting Aramark Canada Ltd. as the food provider.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honoured to be chosen to provide\u00a0dining service to the Brock University community,” said Andy Siklos, President of Aramark Canada Ltd. \u201cWe look forward to introducing our world-class brands and innovative culinary concepts to enrich the campus experience for Brock students and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the official launch of the new dining program targeted for September 2020, there is plenty of work to be done to transition Aramark Canada Ltd. onto campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe residence dining halls are our top priority as we prepare for the launch of All- Access in September,\u201d said Malcolm Dales, Director, Dining Services. \u201cIn addition to dining halls, two new retail locations will come online over the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Construction has already started on the first fully-licensed Starbucks on campus, located in Guernsey Market. Beginning in April, the Hungry Badger located in the Walker Sports Complex will also undergo renovations to facilitate a new free-standing Tim Horton\u2019s, which will offer the company\u2019s full food and beverage menu.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrock University would like to thank Sodexo Canada for their partnership over the past 47 years,\u201d said Scott Johnstone, Senior Associate Vice-President of Operations and Infrastructure Services at Brock. \u201cSpecifically, we would like to acknowledge and thank the dedicated food services staff who are and will continue to be a valuable part of the Brock community.\u201d<\/p>\n
More information about the new dining services program will become available over the coming months including an updated website and new marketing initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
