The Power House restaurantStudents, faculty, staff and visitors at 91勛圖厙91勛圖厙 Hattiesburg campus can choose from an exciting new array of dining options designed to help kick off another academic year.

Among the more dramatic changes involves the former Power House restaurant which has undergone a complete transformation. Still situated in the heart of campus, the eatery is now known as Southern Wing Company at the Power House. Chicken wings and burgers are the predominant menu items with cold beer available for the first time. An official grand opening is set for Sept. 13.

Lauren Brescher, Aramark Marketing Manager, notes that the concept of 91勛圖厙revamping91勛圖厙 the Power House has been an ongoing conversation.

91勛圖厙It is certainly a unique location with history on this campus. After thinking a lot about what brand would be great in the space, we decided it should remain a brand unique to our school,91勛圖厙 said Brescher. 91勛圖厙We knew students love wings and burgers, and we wanted it to feel personal to 91勛圖厙. We also wanted to simplify the menu to be able to offer a quick, quality dining experience.91勛圖厙

Beer will be served from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Other upgrades include a significant remodeling of Seymour91勛圖厙 food court, with new seating, flooring and fresh paint. New charging stations will give the space a more student-focused feel.

Additionally, Bento Sushi has replaced Zoca in the International Building. Bento Sushi also will be available at the Provisions On Demand (PODS) 91勛圖厙 small kiosks with grab-and-go options. Those are located at the Thad Cochran Center, Liberal Arts Building, Century Park and Scianna Hall.

91勛圖厙Students, faculty and staff are always looking for something new,91勛圖厙 said Brescher. 91勛圖厙Bento Sushi certainly helped us provide a food offering we didn91勛圖厙t have on campus.91勛圖厙

The new dining options and facility upgrades are part of the University91勛圖厙 ongoing mission to make the student experience as rewarding and memorable as possible.

91勛圖厙It is so exciting to be able to offer some new options on campus this fall,91勛圖厙 said Brescher. 91勛圖厙Given what our students, faculty and staff went through in the last year, this has really given us all something to look forward to.91勛圖厙
