Winter 2012 - Wayland Baptist University Alumni Association

Students enjoy newly renovated cafeteria
Wayland Baptist University students
are enjoying their new-look cafeteria.
According to Vice President of Enrollment
Management Dr. Claude Lusk,
the university opened the cafeteria
while renovation work continued on the
rest of the university center.
“All along the order of priority was
cafeteria first, (then) first floor, second
floor and basement (Pete’s Place)
following that,” Lusk said.
Renovations, which began over the
summer, forced the complete closure
of the university center and all the offices
and functions associated with the
building were moved to different places
on campus. The bookstore and student
services were moved to McDonald
Hall while food services were moved
to the Laney Center. Lusk pointed out
that Sodexo, Wayland’s food services
contractor, spent the first month of the
semester cooking food in a makeshift
kitchen and then transporting it to the
Laney Center where tables were set
up on the gymnasium floor for the
students.

Lusk said that everyone associated
with the university understood that
there would be some inconveniences
related to the renovation work. However,
he continued, there comes a point
where a sense of normalcy needs to
return and he and others began to
realize that time was approaching.
“We’ve got to finish this cafeteria,”
he concluded.
With that thought in mind, Lusk

Please complete and return to:
said, all efforts were made over a span
of several weeks to get the cafeteria
through the body of inspections that
were required and to get the rest of
the worksite moved to the point that
people could safely move into and out
of the UC. Thanks to the cooperation
and determination of Wayland staff,
construction contractors and representatives
from the city, the goal was met,
he said.
