University of Iowa Housing and Dining will begin offering limited, socially distanced dine-in seating for students in all three market places starting March 1.
The announcement, released by the university on Friday, includes Burge, Catlett, and Hillcrest residence halls. School officials say students will have a choice of eating in the market places or taking their meals to another location by using express dining.
Seating will be limited to allow for appropriate social distancing. Each market place can accommodate 200 to 300 students at one time with distancing measures in place. All food stations in the market places will continue to be a “we serve” model instead of a self-service model.
Students will not need to use a separate process for dine-in seating. A reservation will still be required to enter the market place. Once inside, the student can choose to sit and dine or take their meal to go. All students will be required to wear masks in the market places, and will be allowed to remove their mask only when actively eating their meal.
University Dining staff will clean tables and chairs after each customer. Hand sanitizer dispensers will be located throughout the market places.
