Pending plans for the renovation of the Dugout area in the Memorial Center will offer more sustainable options, including trayless serving, as already incorporated in the Bertholf Commons.

Plans include more easily accessible hydration stations for refilling reusable water bottles, and juice served in cups to reduce single-use plastic bottles.

Renovation plans also will incorporate more effective ways of dealing with waste, including single-stream recycling and composting.

In other sustainability initiatives, Sodexo recently served a meal featuring potatoes and herbs from the inaugural growing season at the IWU Peace Garden.
