Chick-fil-A in the Atrium food court will receive a refresh this summer to improve workflow and update the brand.
Karen Adkins, interim director of Ball State University Dining Services, said the $150,000 remodel will start after graduation in May and be completed by June 4.
“We are incorporating minor design changes to better accommodate the staff and improve customer service," Adkins said.
The food served will remain the same, as the design elements are the only things changing. Adkins said the remodel will result in a new digital sign, a
new color scheme and customer flow will be changed to right to left, instead of
the current design of left to right.
Hannah Carpenter, a sophomore meteorology major, said the restaurant is one of her favorite places to eat on campus.
“Chick-fil-A is one of my go-to dining places on campus when running between two classes for a quick bite," Carpenter said.
Carpenter said she was not sure about the usefulness of the remodel, but said she doesn't know what it's like to work there.
“I think it looks fine now but then again I don’t really pay that close of attention," she said. "Who knows what it’s like behind the counter.”
