1901 Marketplace, the renovated dining facility, opened Jan. 23 and immediately became a central gathering place for the campus community.
The former home of The Ave and 805 Kitchen, opened with multiple venues providing a wide range of culinary offerings.
As the next phase of the university’s dining experience, it marks a new era and a step forward towards creating an inclusive environment that brings the community together. The large, open spaces allow visitors to hang out comfortably while grabbing a bite to eat.
The new facility features two main buildings with a connected covered breezeway that has al fresco-style seating. It will also serve as a location for pop-ups. A student centric space with stadium-style seating will also provide an extension to the University Union.
1901 Marketplace was designed with sustainability in mind and a focus on water and energy conservation. Features includes large windows, low-flow taps and a comprehensive energy-efficient design to keep the facilities' carbon footprint low.
The marketplace will highlight multiple venues including popular franchises like Chick-Fil-A and Panda Express. Some restaurants will have beloved regional cuisines like Picos offering Mexican food and Pom and Honey featuring Mediterranean food. Campus favorites have also returned, including Poly Deli, Red Radish and Julian’s. The facility will also have an All-You-Care-to-Eat concept with dine-in, reusable and to-go compostable box options opening in fall 2024.
