How The University of Indianapolis turned its dining hall into a campus destination

Quest Food Management Services worked to transform Ober Dining Hall from a closed-off cafeteria to the school’s main hub for connecting on campus.

The university established a goal to serve 30% plant-based options by 2025. The dining program now offers over 40% plant-based entrees.

This semester, students who are experiencing food insecurity can request free meal swipes at the dining hall.

IGNITE will allow students throughout the country to connect virtually and share their feedback about their campus dining programs.

With an annual budget of $80 million, the school serves 40,000 meals a day through 35 outlets.

Global Kitchen offers a variety of international dishes, including arepas and tikka masala.

Northeastern University and the University of Illinois in Chicago are first to offer the global cuisines platform.
