Dining services for Dobbins will be served in McGarvey Commons in the Reed Union Building. Dining will resume with normal breakfast hours this morning (March 2).
Lawrence and Porcupine Halls, two residence halls, were initially evacuated due to smoke nearby, but students were able to return to their rooms without incident.
All other college operations, including classes and food service in Bruno’s Café, will resume as scheduled on March 2.

Dobbins Dining Hall is the college’s full-scale, all-you-care-to-eat food court, offering grilled specialties, a sandwich bar, soups, a stir-fry station, a pizza station, entreés, a large salad bar, daily specials, and desserts.
More than that, Dobbins was the place fill with so many memories of mine.
It was the first place I visited on campus when I was a student.
It was my first job on campus.
It was where I ate many Sunday brunches.
It was the site where Staci and I ate most lunches our freshman year.
It was where Karena and I got to know one another.
It was where I burned my hands grabbing freshly sanitized plates from the dishwasher.
It was where I worked until midnight cleaning after a fancy catered dinner.
It was where I carried prepared food from for a residence hall event.
It was the only place where I wore my PJs - aside from my residence hall.
It was where I fell down the stairs.
It was often times the precursor to a stomach ache.
It was still a place where I never ate breakfast during the week.
It was where I gobbled down the salad bar after a strenuous workout.
This comes as very sad news. And I hope Behrend's Housing and Food Services can find a way to easily prepare food for the 1,600+ students who live on campus.
