Eureka College’s Dickinson Commons dining hall will undergo major renovation and expansion this summer to convert the original cafeteria design to a modern food court and to accommodate the college’s growing student population. The facility located at the corner of College Avenue and Burgess Street was built in 1961.

The approximately $2.1 million upgrade led by Core Construction will add nearly 45 feet to the west side of the building. Seating capacity in the main dining area and the East Room private meeting room will grow by about 25 percent.

The upgrade will include an expanded kitchen with new equipment, new offices, new restrooms and additional storage space. The project is scheduled to be complete before classes begin Aug. 27.
