Future Initiatives
GW Dining is continuing to grow and transform. Based on student feedback, we have announced the following as future initiatives to be implemented across campus:
Chick-fil-A & Panda Express – Coming Soon
More national chains are making their way to the Foggy Bottom campus!
Chick-Fil-A will be located in Mitchell Hall, while Panda Express will take over the old Beefsteak location on I St. Once opened, students will be able to utilize Meal Plan funds to purchase a variety of the famous food offerings.
Pelham Refresh & Just-Walk-Out Market – Fall '24
Dining on the Mount Vernon Campus is getting a major 'face-lift.'
Beginning Summer '24, the all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, Pelham Commons in West Hall, will be undergoing construction to match the visual appeal and extended offerings that are already available on the Foggy Bottom campus.
A Just-Walk-Out (JWO) Market will also be introduced to Mount Vernon. This fully-digital model will allow students to access food 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
OZZI Reusable Containers – Fall '24
As GW Dining continues to grow, so must our sustainability efforts.
This initiative was spearheaded by the GW Dining Student Advisory Panel, as student advocates expressed the desire for a reusable option, in addition to the fully compostable to-go containers that are already being used across campus.
Students will be able to pick up these reusable containers at any of our three all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, pay a $5 deposit, and simply fill the container with food. Then when they are finished, they can bring the container back and get the $5 charge refunded back to their card.
