What it will look like
Here is an architect's rendering of what the Paresky Center will look like when it is completed.
Snack Bar
The Paresky Center will have a Snack Bar reminiscent of the old snack bar in Baxter, with curved walls and wooden booths. According to the November 15, 2006 Record:
- Equivalency for students on the meal plan who do not eat dinner will also rise to $8, from its current value at $6.75. The new Snack Bar in Paresky, will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Sunday.
Marketplace
According to the November 15, 2006 Record, the Marketplace will be as follows:
- The Marketplace will feature a deli, a carving station for rotisserie chicken, Teppanyaki grills with a vegetarian and vegan focus and salad and pasta stations, and will be open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. ...
- “It’ll be more of ‘a la carte’ – no longer ‘all you can eat.’ It’s going to be a different situation, and it will take a while for everything to settle,” said Heidi Duncan, a cook at Mission.
