Limited Reopening for Bldg. 31 Café, Natcher Café Begins ‘Pop-Up’ Service

Cafeteria entryway
After emergency repairs, Bldg. 31's café recently reopened with limited services.

The Bldg. 31 cafeteria has reopened in a limited capacity, after emergency repairs were completed. Coffee service and continental breakfast foods are available in the morning, and grab & go pre-packaged food and beverages will be available for lunch. Full reopening is expected, once more extensive renovations are finished. 

In addition, the Natcher cafeteria is coming back. The eatery in Bldg. 45 began “Pop-Up Service Days” in the first week of October. This is the first of a phased schedule focused on opening on days of large events scheduled at the Natcher conference center. A more regular operating schedule is the next phase, which will tentatively start later in fiscal year 2024.
