Dining Services is pleased to share some changes and new additions for the Spring 2025 semester in response to customer feedback including a new meal plan option, sustainable dining hall to go option, expanded hours, and catering menu updates.
Here are the details:
New Unlimited Access Dining Plan
In addition to the current meal plan options, this spring students may select an Unlimited Access Plan that provides unlimited dine-in access at Harrison Dining Hall and Brockway Dining Hall Express plus 200 Points to use at any dining location during the academic semester. It also includes (32) take-out meals for use with the new Green Box Program (see below) from Brockway or Harrison and (6) Anytime Meals per semester. Watch this video to learn more!
As a reminder, returning students are assigned their previously selected meal plan and new students are assigned the Any 19 Plan. All students have until Friday, February 7, 2025 to make a meal plan change. Students can view options and make meal plan selections/changes via the Meal Plan Portal. Have questions? Check out BASC’s Frequently Asked Questions or email business.services@basc1.org.
Green Box Program
To help support sustainability in to-go options, Dining Services is introducing a Green Box Program for to-go meals from Brockway Dining Hall Express and, exclusively for students on the new Unlimited Access Plan, from Harrison Dining Hall for allotted to-go meals. The Green Box will replace the current disposable to-go containers at Brockway which will no longer be offered. This spring only, each meal plan (not including Points-only Plans) will include (1) Green Box that can be redeemed at the register. Watch this video to learn more!
Expanded Hours
In direct response to customer requests, this spring Dining Services is expanding hours at Harrison Dining Hall, Jitterbugs Café, and Raj Madan Café.
Harrison Dining Hall will now open at 7:15 am weekdays for breakfast, and will add breakfast on weekends, serving it from 9 – 10:30 am. Brunch will begin at 10:30 am as usual. Note that The Nest will now open daily at 11 am (including weekends).
Jitterbugs Café will open at 7:30 am weekdays and Raj Madan Café will open at 7:45 am weekdays to allow customers to grab a cup of coffee on their way to class or work. Additionally, Dining Services will pilot Raj Madan staying open until 4 pm Monday – Thursday for the spring semester.
New Options for Garnishes Catering
Looking to plan an event this spring? Check out Garnishes catering options including its updated Garnishes service menu and Garnishes 2 Go menu for pick up or delivery. Changes include: The 20% service charge has been reduced to 15% and will be waived for on campus groups when booking events in the New York Room or Presidential Dining Room. Plus, our premier sustainable reusable china service is available in the New York Room and Presidential Dining Room at no additional charge. As a reminder, Garnishes 2 Go menu includes disposable service items and no service fees for pick up.
After reviewing menus, request catering by selecting the applicable form to complete for Garnishes Catering and Garnishes 2 Go. Please note that (4) weeks’ notice is required for Garnishes service orders, (2) weeks’ notice for Garnishes 2 Go deliveries, and (1) weeks’ notice for Garnishes 2 Go pick-up orders.
Also, please note that as the exclusive foodservice provider for the campus, BASC has the right of first refusal for all food requests and is also tasked with ensuring that proper documentation is in place for outside foodservice providers to minimize risk for the campus community, SUNY Brockport, and BASC. To learn more review catering policies.
These are just some of the changes underway – look for more throughout the semester. Customer feedback is important to us. If you have feedback – whether you enjoyed your meal, someone made your day, or you wish to see something different, complete a Feedback Form and let Dining Services know!
