Seating and Food Service

With several athletics teams returning to campus this weekend, and first-year students moving in next week, the Augsburg Dining Commons is getting ready to re-open.

The furniture in the Dining Commons is a mix of existing tables and chairs along with new soft-seating banquettes (pictured below) and three new counter-height tables.

Counter-height stools for the common table will be delivered in late August. Temporary stools will be installed in the interim.

The Dining Commons features floor-to-ceiling windows. New black-out shades have been installed throughout the Dining Commons and East Commons to allow diners to control for direct sunlight, when needed.

Finishing touches are also being completed on food-service spaces, including the expanded salad bar and beverage counter.
