How many seats are there in Saga?
Capacity in Saga will be reduced to around 300 seats. Excess chairs and furniture have been removed and polycarbonate dividers are in place to allow additional seating where social distancing is not possible. Seating will be available on a first come-first served basis and we will monitor the number of students in Saga at any time so we know if we can allow more students in or if we need to wait.
Is Saga Dining open?
Yes, Saga Dining will have expanded hours to help accommodate the reduced capacity due to social distancing requirements. Seating will be on a first come-first served basis with monitoring to make sure that the stated seating capacity is not exceeded. We will continue to evaluate options and solutions and will work with students to make sure everyone has adequate access to food.
Does Cellar Pub accept meal swipes?
For now, it will serve as a satellite location for Grab & Go options based on the Saga cycle menu. The Cellar Pub will accept meal swipes.
Is HWS food service the same as the fall semester?
Until a FDA-approved vaccine is available and distributed on campus, food services at HWS will remain largely the same as in the fall semester with all dining locations modified to allow for social distancing and with diagrams and markings to show proper flow and spacing. Once a vaccine has been widely distributed, food services will return to a more traditional set-up like we had pre-pandemic.
