New renovations, services and staff positions at Appalachian State University’s Campus Dining facilities are designed to enhance the culinary experience, build community and improve food safety and access.
The upgrades include recent renovations at Rivers Street Cafe in Roess Dining Hall and Park Place at the Pond in Trivette Hall, both located on App State's Boone campus. The $3.8 million renovation project began in May and was completed in August, with funding coming from dining receipts.
