Belk Dining Hall Unveils a New Look

Belk Dining Hall renovations were completed in Summer 2025, thanks to funding from Aramark. The space has been reimagined with a modern design and more stations with a variety of menu options.

The highlights include sleek new flooring and cabinetry, upgraded lighting to brighten the space, fresh paint in warm and welcoming tones, digital signage, and new furniture. State-of-the-art kitchen equipment has also been installed, which will mean faster, fresher, and tastier food.

The design gives Belk West and Belk East two different environments. Belk West is the formal side that is perfect for events and special occasions, while Belk East is student-friendly with soft seating, cozy booths, vibrant murals, and interactive elements.Belk Dining Hall Renovation 2025
