DUC Renovation (Topper Cafe)

Dan Chaney, Project Manager

In order to maintain the level of food services venues available to students, faculty, and staff, the temporary structure housing the Topper Cafe was built on South Lawn. From August 2012 to June 2013, this facility will hold the "Fresh Food Company". This venue was formerly available in the Downing University Center but was relocated due to the renovation of DUC.

During the summer of 2013, Fresh Food Company will transition back to DUC and the retail venues included in The Red Zone will move to the Topper Cafe location so that those areas of DUC can be renovated.

Once completed, all food venues except for Subway will be moved back to DUC and the temporary structure will be removed and the South Lawn will be reclaimed as green space.
