Fully renovated in 2019, the West Dining Center—also known as “West” or “the WDC”—is a modern, full-service facility offering variety, comfort, and inclusive dining. With seven stations, including Clean Eats (featuring meals free from the top nine allergens and gluten), wood-fired pizza, a grill, deli, salad bar, homestyle favorites, and global flavors, there’s something for every taste and dietary need.
Located between Seim, Thompson, Sevrinson, Pavek, and Cater Halls, West is connected to each by tunnels—making it easy for residents to grab a meal without stepping outside or changing out of their slippers to grab a bite to eat.
