Students hungry for more choices

Though the new Round Rock Campus is up and running, there is a room in building 2000 attached to the student lounge that is empty, locked and decidedly unfinished. Originally, this room was designed to house two food vendors, making Round Rock the only campus with more than one food vendor, and the only campus equipped to cook food on a grill.
