One student said it best: "It's like going from a dungeon to the Taj Mahal." The new Zorn Dining Commons, a soaring, light-filled building, opened October 31, 2005 ready to feed hungry KSC students, faculty, and staff.

The environment is thoroughly modern: flexible seating; seven "serveries" offering multiple items and made-to-order meals; eight beverage stations; wi-fi access; bold, bright colors from the paint on the walls to the Fiestaware china.

And not only is the new Zorn nice for students – it's a dream kitchen for Sodexho employees, who prep all the food in the main kitchen on the second floor and take it by elevator and cart to the serving stations on the main floor.

The only thing missing is a past. Years from now, alumni will be nostalgic about the new Zorn. It will be the place they met their best friend, decided to spend a semester in New Zealand, got to know a professor over coffee.

Treat yourself to lunch anytime school is in session: $5.50 for all you can eat, from fresh pizza to piping hot soup, sizzling chicken and vegetable stir-fry, a deli sandwich built to your specifications. And create a few memories while you are there.
