This is the spot prospective students and parents come after campus tours. We transformed the once drab, generic space into a vibrant dining area that boldly conveys ISU benefits to diners. Instead of the previous generic tables, chairs, and brash lighting, diners are now surrounded by a warmer environment featuring colorful graphics and clever key messages about ISU.
