Diverse Dining Experiences

The third floor of the MSOE Campus Center features the Robert Spitzer Dining Commons. This is the primary dining area for resident and commuter students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors.
 
The Robert Spitzer Dining Commons is open seven days a week during the academic year. 
  • Weekday hours are from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
  • Weekend hours are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Break hours are limited and communicated (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer).
When entering the servery, students will swipe their MSOE ID card at the entrance. Guests can purchase a meal pass at the register.
 
MSOE challenges students to maximize their potential. This challenge requires healthy and nutritious dining options and collaborative spaces. Sustainable practices and locally sourced ingredients meet students' expectations for healthy eating options. The Robert Spitzer Dining Commons is an intentionally designed space to increase and enhance food service capacity to support students, faculty, and staff. The Dining Commons creates a community with tasty dining options, places to meet, spaces to study, and a game room to socialize. The Robert Spitzer Dining Commons is the university's central gathering location.
