UT Martin celebrates re-opening of upgraded bookstore, dining hall
MARTIN, Tenn. — The University of Tennessee at Martin on Thursday celebrated the re-opening of two of the most widely used places on campus: the college’s bookstore and dining hall. The school held a ceremony to officially recognize the newly upgraded Barnes & Noble bookstore and Sodexo Skyhawk Dining Hall. Now on the first floor, the bookstore has expanded and now has a new study area called the POD. Across the hall from the bookstore is the newly renovated dining hall and brand-new coffee shop, The Hanger, which serves Starbucks coffee. The Sodexo Skyhawk Dining Hall has a larger seating capacity and new dining options that include the 360 Degrees grill, Magellan international food option and an Italian food option, Bella Trattoria. Staple dining options include the salad bar, now called Fresh From the Fields, the hot plate option called Daily Dish, the Basic Kneads sandwich station, and the Ignite Grill. To celebrate the grand re-opening ceremony, special dining hall pricing is available through Friday, with lunch costing $5 and dinner costing $7.
