The Fall 2020 Semester is quickly approaching Lazers! To make sure you're up to speed on how we're changing things to stay safe during COVID-19, we're going to give you a Fall 2020 update each week via OCC-101 and our social media accounts. These will be pulled from the full Fall 2020 reopening plan.
This week's topic is Dining Services. Below are the top things you need to know about how we're operating:
-
Dining Services will be open for the fall semester! All dining operations, which are coordinated by American Dining Creations, will follow New York State guidance for food services.
-
Your safety is our top priority. All dining service employees will undergo temperature and symptom screening. All associates will wear CDC approved PPE and there will be increased sanitizing with EcoLab virus destroying cleaner.
-
Social distancing measures will be fully implemented in all dining facilities. Dining services will have floor signs in the serving area to mark appropriate social distancing and there will be a limited number of patrons allowed in the servery at all times.
-
There will be reduced “touches” throughout the dining experience. The serving area will be reconfigured to provide “grab-and-go” service. Self-service stations and bulk-dispensed condiments will be eliminated and replaced with single-serve packets and pre-made, packaged grab-and-go items. Fountain beverages will be available, but cups will be distributed by station attendants.
We are committed to providing a low-touch/low risk exceptional dining experience. For more details on how dining services will be operating, check out the Fall 2020 Reopening Plan in Appendix O.
