Starting Monday, May 6, students will see adapted food retail hours and meal exchange policies at Norris University Center, according to Executive Director of Norris Corbin Smyth.
MOD Pizza and Starbucks will now close at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, moving up from 10 p.m. Rather than 8 a.m., Market at Norris will now open at 9 a.m. 847 Burger will add four hours, staying open until 7 p.m. on Friday afternoons. Shake Smart will now be open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., shifting two hours from its previous 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Shake Smart will also now offer meal exchanges during the entirety of its retail hours, as opposed to its current policy of only offering meal exchanges from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. The decision follows complaints of long lines from students.
The new hours are motivated by data collected from transactions and trackers on Norris doors and feedback from students, Smyth said. They will be in effect through the rest of Spring Quarter and, if successful, may be implemented permanently beginning in the fall.
“The goal is to maximize the times where students want the services that we provide, balanced with the costs of dining,” Smyth said. “This really is a test to see if we can do something a little bit better for students.”
