The Atrium

A central hub of activity on campus, The Atrium in the Art and Journalism Building

offers foods that college students love to eat. Whether you want salads, wraps, pizza, nachos, or fries, you can get it here.

The Atrium includes two national chains: Chick-fil-A Express and Sbarro—The Italian Eatery. Sbarro specializes in pasta entrees, pizza, salads, and other Italian favorites, while Chick-fil-A serves its famous chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and fresh-squeezed lemonade. Your meal card can be used at both locations.

The Atrium also includes these options:

• McKinley Grille offers sandwiches, hand-pattied burgers smothered in your favorite cheese, freshly cut french fries, and other grill favorites.
• Boar's Head Deli will create your favorite custom sandwich or salad from a spread of premium Boar's Head deli meats, Boar's Head cheeses, and fresh breads.
• Caliente is as hot as its Spanish name, serving tacos, nachos, taco salads, and more of your favorite Mexican cuisine.
• Atrium Creations brings a taste of Asia to the heart of campus, cooking up buffet-style entrees and eggrolls.

If the weather is nice, you can dine outside on the patio along McKinley Avenue. If you don’t have time to sit down in our spacious dining area with live trees, we have grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, and desserts.

The Art and Journalism Building conveniently connects to the Ball Communication Building, near the

David Letterman Communication and Media Building

and Robert Bell Building, so you can stop by for a quick bite between classes.
